In partnership with Yale College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, YPS launched Impact! to provide support for small, dynamic teams of students, faculty, and staff to pursue small-scale projects focused on planetary solutions challenges.
Celebrating YPS-Supported Impact! Awards
In 2024, Impact! Awards funded three projects. These projects proposed efforts to explore variation in local air quality, sustainable fashion consumption, and documentation of New Haven’s environmental history. Through new publications, curated exhibits, strategic solutions for community needs, and more, these projects are providing students with hands-on experience in linking academic expertise with a broader context.
Project teams consisting of undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and/or staff had the opportunity to apply for up to $10,000 in research or project funding, with support for student stipends as well.
