This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports planning activities for a new Center on Clean Energy and Society (CES) at Brown University. The goal is to investigate the social, political, and behavioral processes relevant to scaling up clean energy infrastructure in the United States and globally. The two-year planning grant will fund interdisciplinary meetings to identify key research topics, a synthesis of existing clean energy and society research, and an outreach event with stakeholders. The proposed CES center aims to generate knowledge on the complex societal dimensions of clean energy development, including identifying barriers and assessing strategies to overcome them. This award reflects the NSF's mission to support fundamental research addressing national priorities in areas like environmental sustainability and technological innovation.
