Dear Shah Lab colleagues and friends,

Please find attached a 2 pager description of an opportunity to serve on Research Advisory Council (RAC) for LIFT (Accelerating Low Income Financing & Transaction for Solar Access Everywhere) , a US Department of Energy funded research project.

Who Can Serve on LIFT’s Research Advisory Council?
RAC will include experts in the fields of finance, data science, and social science. The LIFT RAC may also include experts in regulatory and legal matters impacting community solar, solar/DER and low-to-moderate income ratepayer policy, including staff with appropriate expertise from electric utilities and state or regional/national energy regulatory bodies, and solar developers and related solar- focused organizations.

What Role Will RAC Serve in the LIFT Project?
RAC members will advise LIFT partners on the design and implementation of research and will also help design LIFT’s outreach and engagement plan to disseminate research discoveries. RAC members serve as voluntary advisors to the LIFT project but will be provided travel expenses for the in-person meetings in Year 1 and 3 and will also have  full access to the data for research.

This is a great opportunity to build relationships with other researchers, experts and practitioners in this sector.

Please respond to this email if you want to explore this opportunity or have any questions. I will much appreciate if you could share this with others who you think may benefit from this opportunity.

Kind Regards,

Pallavi Gupta
