Proposals are due on Friday, April 14, 2025 by 11:59pm PT.
Scope
We are facing a challenging time for planet Earth. At the global and local scales, climate change and human activity are causing significant perturbations in many of the natural systems essential for sustaining life.
Under the Platforms and Tools for Monitoring Decision-Making Solution Area (Platforms and Tools), we are launching two Integrative Projects that will explore ways in which data acquired with sensors - satellite, airborne, land/water-based - and the accompanying data analysis and modeling workflows, can support the adaptive management of planetary health and human activities. Sensor-based systems will transform the approach to addressing critical issues related to climate change, sustainability, and equity by providing the essential measurements needed, with the spatial and temporal sampling needed, to inform the development and implementation of new policies.
This RFP and subsequent award process will help bring faculty together to advance the development and field-testing of these sensor-based systems that cover the spectrum from sensors to solutions.
Priority Areas
Taking the Pulse of the Watershed. This integrative project will use a sensor-based approach to develop an integrated understanding of the functioning of a surface water - groundwater system and the links to natural ecosystems so as to support sustainable freshwater (and associated land) management.
Taking the Pulse of the Coastal Ocean. This integrative project will support sensor development and testing, and data analysis and visualization that enable access to timely and relevant information to provide an integrated understanding of ocean change and resilience in coastal central California.
Eligibility
Concept Notes must be submitted by an individual or interdisciplinary team of PI-eligible Stanford University active faculty.
Award Amount & Duration
The Solution Area - Integrative Project program for Platforms & Tools aims to fund two ambitious 5-year collaborative projects with up to $500,000 per year.
