Ideal Applicant
Applied research organizations or institutions (universities, national labs, or industry–academic partnerships) conducting materials science, recycling, remanufacturing, or material-recovery projects that can manage multi-hundred-thousand-dollar awards.
Good Fit
- • Clear materials-science or recycling R&D project aligned with reducing energy and emissions in materials manufacturing
- • Capacity to manage multi-hundred-thousand-dollar grant awards and report on technical outcomes
- • Partnerships with industry, academic labs, or national labs
- • Multi-state or national project scope rather than only local programming
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached recipients in 16 states, with only about 16% of dollars staying in the foundation's home state and the remainder distributed nationally.
Recipient Variety
The latest active year shows 27 distinct recipients (27 grants to 27 organizations), including multiple universities and private research partners, indicating a broad recipient set despite dollar concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence shows all 27 grantees in the latest active year were new recipients, which strongly suggests new entrants can access funding; however, the apparent grant activity is concentrated in a single recent year and no formal application guidelines were published, so long-term patterns are not fully established.
