CEAP unsolicited grant application


CEAP
CEAP conducts, supports, and disseminates high-quality research about important issues at the intersection of environmental and animal protection. We have three distinguishing features: (1) a focus on highly credible, evidence-based research that will provide usable knowledge and policy recommendations to decision-makers and advocacy groups; (2) an emphasis on the integration of environmental and animal protection issues; and (3) an emphasis on fostering collaboration between scholars and private-sector changemakers around the world.

Proposal eligibility
CEAP will consider proposals from faculty, graduate students, and independent researchers that further its mission. CEAP can provide grants to individuals or to institutions, but does not pay indirect costs or institutional overhead.

For small grants ($5,000 and under), CEAP will make a decision on the basis of this short proposal. For larger grants, CEAP will treat this short proposal as a letter of intent and may request a longer, more detailed proposal for round 2.

Proposal template
To apply, please send a short proposal to ceap@nyu.edu that includes the following information in the following order:

  1. A short (~500 word) description of the project. Please note that the project should address an important issue at the intersection of environmental and animal protection.
  2. A list of all participants of the project, with a short (~50 word) bio and attached CV for each participant. If the project includes a PI or supervisor, please identify this individual.
  3. A list of all expected outputs, with a short description and timeline for each output. Please note that the expected outputs should include an academic publication.
  4. A detailed budget for the project and the requested grant. Please note that since our budget is limited, we prioritize funding research expenses over funding PI salary.
  5. An explanation of how the project is aligned with our mission of supporting research about important issues at the intersection of environmental and animal protection.
  6. A statement that the project will not involve invasive research on animals or treatment of animals that can reasonably be expected to result in their suffering or death. 
  7. A statement that commits to acknowledging CEAP funding in all publications.
  8. A statement that commits to reporting on your progress, outputs, and impact upon request.
