The Degrees Initiative is offering grants to researchers in the Global South to study the social and political dimensions of solar radiation modification (SRM) geoengineering. *The closing deadline for applications has now been extended to 20 December 2023 (23:59 Greenwich Mean Time).*
SRM is a controversial proposal for reducing some of the impacts of climate change by reflecting a small fraction of sunlight away from the Earth. Grants of USD 45,000 for teams or USD 25,000 for individual researchers in the social sciences will be awarded to the most promising applications, which will be evaluated by independent peer review. Successful applicants are expected to attend a research-planning workshop, to be held in Istanbul in May 2024, to refine their proposal. The Degrees Initiative is not prescriptive about the specific research question, methods, or outcomes of projects. Additional funding may be awarded on a competitive basis if need is later demonstrated.
