SNRE Mini-grant Program Supports Interdisciplinary Projects

The environmental challenges of the 21st century are complex and require an interdisciplinary approach to finding solutions. Responding to the need for science-based, integrative research, SNRE offers a Mini-grant Program for UF faculty.

The program is highly successful at leveraging additional research dollars and encouraging collaboration. Figures for 2003-04 show that approximately $25 in additional funding was generated for every $1 allocated through the program. Project collaborators represented 19 departments within five colleges, 11 County Extension offices, and Florida Sea Grant. Several projects also involved governmental agencies and the private sector.

During 2004-05 and 2005-06, the Mini-grant Program allocated a combined total of $340,000. Additional figures for the 2004-05 Mini-grant Program will be available next year.

In addition to SNRE funds, financial support for this program is provided by the deans for the colleges of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Engineering, Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine; the IFAS Dean for Research; and the Vice President for Research.
