Realizing Environmental Innovation Program
Amount of funding: up to $100,000 per year for up to 2 years
The Stanford Woods Institute recognizes that some research projects are developed to the point of identifying a potential solution approach—a novel technology, a viable policy prescription, new approaches to behavior change or some combination—but the project team still needs to validate the solution concept and engage external stakeholders to implement the approach. To help the most promising research projects actually implement their solutions, Woods created the Realizing Environmental Innovation Program (REIP).
Strong proposals will demonstrate significant progress in identifying solutions, potential for viability among important decision makers and relevance to Woods' focal areas.
Eligibility: Stanford faculty who are members of the academic council and MCL faculty. Proposals from at least two separate disciplines. [For assistance in identifying possible co-investigators, please see the Wood's institutes' faculty and researchers directory.]
Projects must address one or more of the Wood’s seven focal areas: oceans, ecosystem services and conservation, public health, freshwater, climate, food security, and sustainable development.
Questions? Contact Woods Institute Director Buzz Thompson (buzzt@law.stanford.edu), or REIP Manager Brian Sharbono (sharbono@stanford.edu).

environmental ethics, cultural and humanistic influences, effective economic and incentive systems, environmental justice, political ecology, stewardship, risk perception and analysis, communication, mitigation and adaption, responses to global changes, valuation and interdisciplinary modeling.
Woods' focal areas include: oceans, ecosystem services and conservation, public health, freshwater, climate, food security, and sustainable development.
Eligibility: Stanford faculty who are members of the academic council and MCL faculty. PIs must be from at least two different disciplines. (See the FAQs)
