Funding Innovative Research
The Stanford Energy 3.0 Program pools funds from member companies to support Seed Research Grants based on faculty proposals in areas related to energy, materials, chemistry and sustainability. Uses for seed grants include exploratory efforts in interdisciplinary research areas, start-up grants for new research projects, and funding high-risk, innovative ideas.
Scientific Rewards
By providing Stanford faculty with the seed funding necessary to demonstrate the feasibility of their ideas, the Stanford Energy 3.0 grants catalyze innovation, in addition to making the faculty much more competitive for federal grants, which contribute valuable resources to the university.
