The purpose of EMAP is to provide seed funding for interdisciplinary research and analysis on environmental problems relevant to the regional community and to share that work with groups and organizations capable of translating it into policy. Such groups can be preexisting or may be established expressly for the purposes of the project. EMAP projects should also provide valuable research, teaching, and learning experiences to members of the UB community. Interdisciplinary teams are strongly encouraged to apply. Each funding request should be scaled to the magnitude of the proposed project.
Projects are likely to vary considerably.
Proposers are encouraged to seek complementary or follow-on funding from other funding sources. Potential sources should be identified. Projects can be from twelve to eighteen months in duration. Start date January, 2000. Either one digital or fourteen printed copies should be submitted.
