Join our upcoming LASER Tempe webinar on Monday, August 22, where we will explore the Seize the Moment Initiative Seed Grant Faculty research projects we have been supporting over the past year. We will hear from two faculty research teams about what makes their projects highlight the moment we need to be currently seizing. 

Through transdisciplinary collaborations in the arts, sciences, humanities, and technology in pedagogy, research, and public engagement, Anthropocene and Turn it Around have been implementing their projects to create sustainable impact outcomes working with communities from a local to global context. 

Seize the Moments Faculty Research Seed Grants provide ASU faculty with the opportunity to apply for up to $10,000 to support collaborative, transdisciplinary research projects and activities that address the intersecting social, environmental, and health crises of the syndemic.
