The Battelle Engineering, Technology and Human Affairs (BETHA) Endowment offers grants to full-time assistant, associate and full professors (with a minimum 75% appointment for a nine or 12-month period).
The competition, funded by Battelle Memorial Institute, awards three to six projects (from $10,000 to $60,000) that examine the impact of science and technology on individuals and society. Emphasis is placed on educational/public service programs and collaborative projects.
The next call for proposals will open in February 2025.
