Project Summary

The Center for Environment, Community, & Equity Faculty Research Incubator Program is a competitive program that funds environmentally-focused interdisciplinary research teams across American University. Research teams compete for funding that will support summer salary or a course buyout for the lead Principal Investigator of the project.
