Project Updates for Research Supported through iSEE

Search tips:
  • This form will search for words in the title OR the description. If you would like to search for the same term(s) across both the title and description, enter the same search term(s) in both fields.
  • This form will search for any of the words you enter in a field, not the exact phrase you enter. If you would like to search for an exact phrase, put double quotes (") around the phrase. For example, if you search for Bike Path you will get results containing either the word Bike OR the word Path, but if you search for "Bike Path" you will get results containing the exact phrase Bike Path.

  1. Archived research theme description

    Associated Project(s): 
    Research Supported through iSEE

    While Professor Ximing Cai was the iSEE Associate Director for Campus Sustainability, he worked with PhD student Majid Shafiee-Jood to develop a comprehensive list of national research funding programs that could coordinate with sustainability sites and projects on campus.  In 2017, these files were linked from the Research Theme page on the iCAP Portal, and the related iCAP projects were linked for each of the national research funding programs.  In 2025, the list of national research funding programs was no longer accurate, and the iCAP Portal leadership determined that it would be best to remove that segment of the Portal records.  

    The Research theme page intro statement said:

    In addition to 2015 iCAP objectives related to research, the hundreds of iCAP projects are linked to a number of national research programs sponsored by various national funding agencies. A click on the plus icon by one of the agencies and then a second click on one of the programs under the agency will lead to a program page with a list of iCAP projects that are linked to the selected program.

    Background about those links can be seen from two reports: 

    • Review of Campus Sustainability Programs: Opportunities for Education and Research
    • Overviews of Campus Sustainability Projects at Illinois: Opportunities for Education and Research

    The related reports are attached here.

    An interdisciplinary proposal to address urban climate threats and make cities more sustainable has been awarded a two-year, $50,000 planning grant from the Institute for iSEE. Additionally, iSEE has awarded $30,000 in seed funding for an interdisciplinary proposal to examine the economic and human health effects of exposure to wildfire smoke on a broad scale, to help inform climate policy.
