Woods Institute for the Environment
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.
They are looking for projects that are high-risk, transformative, and have the potential to produce solutions to major global environmental challenges.
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 at buzzt@law.stanford.edu, or Brian Sharbono at sharbono@stanford.edu
Letter of intent (required) deadline: Jan. 11, 2016, 5 p.m.

Woods Institute for the Environment
Environmental Venture Projects

This program seeks projects that: are high-risk, transformative projects that have the potential to produce solutions to major global environmental challenges; represent new interdisciplinary collaborations among faculty who have not previously worked together, with a preference for scholarly communities that have not been active in the Stanford Woods Institute to date; and address cross-cutting issues that are relevant to the environment in general and/or address challenges within one or more of the Woods' seven focus areas: 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. Proposals from at least two separate disciplines. [For assistance in identifying possible co-investigators, please see the Wood's institutes' faculty and researchers directory.]

International Community Access to Child Health (ICATCH) Grant Program
Amount of funding: a maximum of $6000 over a three-year period. Funds are distributed as a maximum of $2000 per year.
Eligibility: they will accept applications only from low-income and low-middle income countries
(see World Bank classification http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups or
the list on the RFP.). A Project Director and a Project Co-Director must be listed on the proposal. The Project
Director must live or work near the community where the services/training will be offered.
Project Directors and Co-Project Directors need not be pediatricians—applications can come
from other physicians (including surgeons), nurses, health workers, social workers, dentists,
physical therapists and others who provide health care or health education for children and
youth.
Purpose: ICATCH grants are designed for pediatricians and other health workers in low- and low-middle
income countries who need financial and advisory support to plan and implement a project or
program that improves child health, or increases children’s access to health care.
ICATCH will consider for funding any community-based project or program that will improve the
health of children and their families, or increase children’s access to health care services. Such
programs could involve (but are not limited to) primary care, oral health care, mental health care,
nutrition services, rehabilitation services, injury prevention and safety, services for children with
special needs, or the education of health workers or patients and families.
ICATCH funding cannot be used for research projects. We fund health care services for
children, activities that increase access to health services, or training that improves existing
services for children. We do allow a portion of an ICATCH project’s budget to be used for
monitoring and evaluation activities, which are encouraged.
Early deadline (optional): Oct. 12, 2015*
Applications received by this preliminary deadline are eligible to receive feedback in the form of
comments from an ICATCH reviewer to improve the application or the project.
