EREF Research Grants on Sustainable Solid Waste Management
EREF is one of the largest sources of private research funding in North America related to sustainable materials management. Our grants program has provided millions of dollars in funding to cutting edge research institutions to help address the many challenges that exist.
The process for grant consideration involves the submission of a 2-page pre-proposal aligned with the areas noted in the RFP. Pre-proposals are reviewed by staff and EREF’s Research Council, a committee of subject matter experts. Successful pre-proposals are invited to submit full proposals, which are reviewed by both academic peers and non-academic subject matter experts. The Research Council uses these reviews and discusses the relevancy of the proposed research topics to create a recommendation for funding. This recommendation is then received by EREF’s Board of Directors for final award consideration.
REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS
The Priorities are of equal importance, and proposals will not be rated more strongly for one priority area over another. Some subtopics within each priority area also have specific topics of interest identified proposals that are aligned with these subtopics are of particular interest to EREF. Proposals must meet EREF’s definition of solid waste as noted at the end of this RFP. Submitted pre-proposals must relate to sustainable solid waste management practices and at least one of the following Priority areas.
