Thinking Globally, Acting Locally is an innovative new pilot program that supports student-led research initiatives to advance sustainability in our local communities.
Focusing on at least one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals), graduate students will help create and work with a team comprised of undergraduate students, a faculty mentor, and an external advisor from a community organization to collaborate on a research project and leverage your work for real-world impact.
Working as a group, you will submit your research proposal and be one of five teams selected to receive a budget of up to $20,000. With these funds, each team will be expected to complete their research with targeted outcomes that are achievable within an eight-month time frame (October – May).
Teams will present their achievements at a Thinking Globally, Acting Locally Research Forum hosted by Western. The forum will celebrate your achievements and promote the implementation and advancement of your work.
