Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA): Engineering Ecosystem Resilience

This ARIA Program seeks to unlock the capability of dramatically accelerating the adaptation of no domesticated species to new environmental conditions. The resulting transformative paradigm for conservation and ecological engineering will complement traditional environmental protection and stewardship strategies. By accelerating adaptation of key ecosystem members or functions, we aim to help preserve ecological interactions and maintain or recover important functions and services despite environmental changes.

Funding: up to £500K

*Outside of programs, we award seed funding to individuals or teams pursuing research aligned with our opportunity spaces. With smaller budgets and less structure than programs, seeds support researchers to uncover new pathways that might otherwise fall through the cracks.
