Science and Technology for Other Grants

The Community Waste Reduction Grant (CWRG) is a competitive grant program that provides funding for innovative projects that significantly reduce waste and/or increase the diversion of recoverable materials that would otherwise be sent to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill for disposal. Donor Name: Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio State: Ohio County: Franklin County (OH) Type of Grant: Grant Deadline: (mm/dd/yyyy) 08/02/2024 Size of the Grant: $10,000 to $100,000 Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned Details: The program is designed to provide funding to assist with building sustainable programs, projects, and services that address the unique waste reduction and material diversion needs of central Ohio. Local governmental or non-profit organizations including cities, townships, villages, parks, K-12 schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, and churches are eligible to apply.  Proposed projects should address the unique waste reduction, diversion, recycling, and composting needs of Central Ohio; emphasize partnership building and collaboration, and address opportunities to leverage the waste stream for community benefit. Funding Information The minimum grant amount that can be requested is five hundred dollars ($500.00). The maximum grant amount that can be requested is thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00). Projects should emphasize partnership building and collaboration, and address opportunities to leverage the waste stream for community and economic benefit. Funding for infrastructure, and outreach and education activities that increase the reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting of materials will be considered. Applications with a focus on implementing reduction and diversion processes and systems, that also include outreach, education, and awareness as part of the project are strongly encouraged. Below is a partial list of CWRG criteria: Must occur within SWACO’s jurisdiction of Franklin County, Ohio. Funding is available for establishing, improving, or expanding waste reduction, reuse, recycling, composting, or food donation activities. Recipients must provide a twenty percent (20%) cash contribution toward the project. If a project is awarded grant dollars, SWACO requires grantees to document and measure the impact of the project’s activities. No approved purchases can be made before the execution of a grant agreement. If awarded, funded projects must be completed by December 31, 2025. A final report detailing the successes, challenges, and impacts of the project’s waste reduction and diversion efforts must be provided at the end of the project. SWACO staff is available to serve as a resource to: Provide advice and technical expertise. Help develop projects and services that align with the purpose of the CWRG program. Provide recommendations to help ensure proposed activities incorporate best practices to help execute successful projects with maximized outcomes.

The purpose of this Global-X Challenge is to discover, and ultimately provide a catalyst through a research grant, for subsequent development and delivery of revolutionary capability to the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the commercial marketplace, and the public. The expected outcomes of this Global-X Challenge are promising, potentially game-changing, concepts whose technology maturity may be accelerated under separate follow-on technology development efforts. ONR Global is interested in promising concepts to achieve revolutionary capability advances with both military and commercial value in the multidisciplinary technology challenge areas described below. Specifically excluded are existing commercial systems or products, technical approaches already funded by existing research programs, or research that provides evolutionary improvements to existing technology. ONR Global recognizes that international scientists and engineers conduct creative and novel research. This Global-X Challenge provides an opportunity for these international researchers to collaborate, generate revolutionary ideas and show proof of concept these ideas will succeed. ONR Global invites outstanding international researchers to form multi-national, multidisciplinary teams to address one or more of these capability challenges. Individual researchers may participate on more than one research team. Teams are responsible for establishing non-disclosure agreements among team members, if necessary. Non-federal entity researchers from academia and industry may participate. ONR Global expects, but does not require, that multi-national teams will consist of at least two research entities outside of the U.S., whether from academia, industry and/or the broader research community. Researchers from U.S. research entities may also participate but are not required.
