Our faculty and scholars are working to drive a deeper understanding of the most important questions related to Earth, climate, and society. This commitment to foundational research sits at the core of the school’s mission. 

Discovery Grants

The Stanford Doerr Discovery Grants support fundamental, inquiry-based research for all topic areas within the school. These awards support research that is novel and creative, and aims to advance our understanding of Earth and planetary processes, life on our planet, energy and infrastructure, and societies.

“Discovery Grant research plays a critical role in driving scientific progress and innovation, creating new knowledge, opening doors to new approaches, and expanding our vision of what is possible in sustainability research.”
