Dear All,

For Seed Grant Awards 2020, we reached out to multiple non-profit organizations and NGOs and have collected 37 problem statements from across multiple countries. The problems statements are outlined here- https://engineering.purdue.edu/GEP/ShahLab/seed-grants and are across following thematic areas:

• Humanitarian Response / Disaster preparedness
• Health and Wellbeing
• Environment / Energy
• Agriculture / Food Security
• Education / Literacy
• Water/ Waste management / Water scarcity / Irrigation

If you have a technology or a solution that is relevant to any of the problem statements, please connect with us by filling a short form (3 questions) by Nov 25.

Based on the responses, as next steps, Shah Lab will identify problem statements for the Seed Grant Awards 2020 and will facilitate collaborations between organizations and interested faculty.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

P.S – Please consider sharing this with other faculty/researchers.

Thank you

Kind Regards,

Pallavi Gupta
