The MIT Energy Initiative Seed Fund Program supports innovative, early-stage clean energy research, encouraging researchers from throughout MIT’s five schools and college to collaborate in exploring new energy-related ideas and to open up new avenues for research.
Each year, the program attracts well-established energy experts as well as new faculty who need startup support and others who are applying their expertise in different fields to energy for the first time.
Funding is provided through the MITEI Founding and Sustaining Members Program. All MIT faculty or research staff with principal investigator privileges are eligible.
The 2024-025 MITEI Seed Fund request for proposals (RFP) was issued on Thursday, November 21st. Proposals will be accepted through Wednesday, January 15th, 2025.
