The request for proposals encouraged researchers to explore ways the Georgia Tech campus can continue to innovate, demonstrate, prove, and promote the adoption of best and next practices in regenerative design and operations.\u0026nbsp;Researchers were also encouraged\u0026nbsp;to use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a framework for research design. All members of the Georgia Tech community were encouraged to apply. The program especially sought proposals from students and staff who had little or no prior research experience. Awardees will present their work at the 2024 Micro Research Grants Symposium, to be held in April 2024.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe program has four objectives:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Col\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ETo expand scientific thinking and the understanding of the research process among those not directly involved in scientific research.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ETo bolster the use of the campus as a living laboratory.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ETo give voice to people and communities outside of research that have culturally novel perspectives on problems and their possible solutions, and to create new pathways for partnering with them.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ETo seed novel ideas and nurture nascent investigators.\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\u003C\/ol\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe awardees are:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ENicole Allen and Elaina Render\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cAn Investigation Into the Cultivability and Regenerative Potential of Various Vegetables and Herbs\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EMaryam Almaian and Patrick Kastner\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cAugmented Architecture: Integrating Numerical Simulations Into Regenerative Design\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EPatrick Barry, Jung-Ho Lewe, and Gray Simmons\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cProject: Low-Cost Current Transformer\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003ENola Charles, Jaila Kimbro, and Hannah Kate Cass\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cGT Be the Bridge\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EDonghyun Choi, Abhinav Shubham, and Manpreet Hora\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cData Analytics on Science-Based Target Initiatives (SBTi)\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EJake Churchill, Victoria Pozzi, Dimitri Kalinin, Zihang Zhang, and Rich Simmons\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201c\u2018Cleaning\u2019 Solar Energy at GT\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EKenneth Grant and Jung-Ho Lewe\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cAdjustable Occupancy Sensor Mounting Solution\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EJung-Ho Lewe, Evan Goldstein, and Gray Simmons\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\t\u201cLow-Cost Building Occupancy Sensor\u201d\u003C\/li\u003E\r\n\t\u003Cli\u003EMarisa L.
