The system-wide Sustainable Development Goals initiative is pleased to announce the 2025 SDG Initiative research grant competition.
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a globally recognized integrated framework for addressing major social and environmental challenges of the 21st Century. The University’s SDG Initiative and this funding opportunity have been established to support University of Minnesota faculty, academic staff, and researchers in using the SDGs as a framework for research that addresses one or more of these goals, either globally or locally.
Grant proposals should clearly demonstrate how the research project will address known needs locally and/or globally, as well as how it will contribute to at least one SDG by linking the work to the specific SDG targets and indicators.
SDGs of particular salience include:
- Zero Hunger (SDG #2)
- Good Health and Well Being (SDG #3)
- Clean Water and Sanitation (SDG #6)
- Climate Action (SDG #13)
