Net Zero Fellowship Opportunity

Energy Trust of Oregon is Now Accepting Applications for Energy Trust’s Net Zero Fellowship Grant 

Energy Trust is proud to support the innovative people who make net-zero buildings possible, from current industry professionals to the leaders of tomorrow. Through fellowship grants, we support research that advances net-zero design and construction, addresses potential barriers or helps grow community involvement.

The Net Zero Fellowship awards up to two grants, not exceeding $60,000 each, for a 12-month research project that advances the adoption of net-zero design and construction in Oregon and/or Washington. We are now seeking applications through June 2, 2023.

Individuals or firms in the fields of community development, urban planning, architecture, engineering, construction, facility management, public policy or academia are encouraged to apply. Energy Trust encourages topics that examine multiple facets of net-zero design and construction, especially around how building professionals make decisions and how all communities benefit.

Submit your application by June 2, 2023.
