Apply to Climate HQ's Mini Grants

Are you interested in working on climate change/justice in your research, scholarship or creative activities? Through the Climate Justice Leaders Initiative, SF State’s Climate HQ aims to strengthen climate justice teaching, research and outreach at SF State. Climate HQ supports efforts to mitigate climate change and to address climate impacts through interdisciplinary mini-grants that bring researchers from different fields together to address climate justice goals.

These one-time mini-grants will seed and support interdisciplinary research, scholarship and creative activities. Three to six grants between $5,000 and $12,000 each will be awarded (award period is June 2025 – May 2026). Applications are sought from teams comprised of at least two people who specialize in different disciplines, including at least one tenured/tenure-track faculty.

The mini grants goals are to:

  1. support faculty members incorporating climate change/justice into their research, service and creative activities (RSCA) for the first time.
  2. deepen their inquiries into climate change/justice in a new way.
  3. facilitate connections among faculty engaged in climate RSCA across campus and in the community.

See the full call for applications and complete the application by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 1st, 2025.
