CPWR Small Study Program Accepting Applications
CPWR is now accepting applications for funding from the Small Studies Program
CPWR’s Small Study Program provides seed money of up to $30,000 to investigate promising new research initiatives. Many major research projects began with a small study to demonstrate their viability or test their approach. Other small studies have resulted in important stand-alone projects. A survey of researchers funded under this Program found that more than 60% had published their findings in peer reviewed journals.
