The Environmental Venture Projects (EVP) program provides seed funding to interdisciplinary teams of Stanford faculty for research that results in realistic solutions to major environmental challenges. For example, a 2004 EVP grant to study conservation in Hawaii and Costa Rica helped jump-start the Natural Capital Project, an innovative collaboration of the Woods Institute, Nature Conservancy, and World Wildlife Fund that is developing innovative tools to make conservation economically attractive. Projects to date have addressed a wide range of other topics, from California water markets to arsenic exposure in drinking water in Asia.

2008 EVP LOI form -- LOI submission is closed for 2008. Please check back in Winter 2008 for the 2009 EVP cycle.
