As part of its mission, I-CARES awards seed funding to Washington University faculty undertaking innovative and collaborative research in the broad areas of bioenergy and sustainability through an annual call for proposals. Current awards have been given to faculty in Arts & Sciences, the School of Engineering & Applied Science, the College of Architecture, the School of Social Work, the School of Medicine, and the Olin Business School.
