Proposals are due July 15 for Faculty and Student Innovation Grants, 2005-2006, from the Center for a Livable Future. The grants support innovative, interdisciplinary and/or interdepartmental study by faculty, fellows and students. The overall purpose of these grants is to encourage new visionary work that focuses on how to achieve a livable future by using resources equitably and sustainably, improving health for all and leaving a world fit for future generations.

Particular emphasis is placed on the interactions among diet and consumption, human health, food production and food security, equity, the environment and the world's resources. Ethical and social considerations are taken into account.
