How does GCEP select projects?
Using input from its faculty Research Theme Leaders and others, GCEP identifies specific technical and topical areas in the energy field in which breakthroughs in fundamental science could have a significant impact in the development of large-scale energy technologies with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Following assessments of these areas through review of current research, discussion with experts, and workshops and other meetings, GCEP invites proposals from researchers at Stanford and other academic institutions. To facilitate management of the process in some topical areas, GCEP issues a world-wide targeted call for pre-proposals to screen for concepts that may be appropriate for GCEP research before soliciting full proposals.
