Schmidt Sciences: Decarbonization Modeling of Urban Mobility and the Built Environment – expressions of intent

We are seeking to fund one multi-institutional collaboration targeting coupled representation of mobility and buildings sectors, particularly in urban systems, and addressing four focus areas: a) advances in the understanding of interdependencies in decarbonization pathways; b) methodological advances that improve model representation of said interdependencies; c) rigorous uncertainty analyses and model validation; and d) generating context-specific insights highlighting the needs, constraints and impacts of decarbonization pathways.

We are seeking brief (3 page) expressions of intent (EOIs) for research projects that target key gaps in understanding and representing complex interdependencies in decarbonization of urban mobility and built environment, with an emphasis on models and analyses that are relevant for informing decision making.

Who should apply:  Consortiums of multiple institutions are encouraged, particularly including or led by researchers local to selected geographic contexts. Eligible institutions include universities, national labs, institutes, non-profits, and agencies…. Single-institution applications are unlikely to be funded.

Funding:  up to $4 million over 5 years (Non profit).
