What is BETR Grants?
Bringing Efficiency To Research (BETR) Grants is an ongoing focus of the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) University Alliance Group (UAG).
Through BETR Grants, UAG aims to promote the efficient use of resources and spending of sponsor funding at universities and research institutions by effectively reducing the direct and overhead costs of research through efficient practices and facilities. The UAG believes that a systematic change towards efficient laboratories will ultimately minimize the environmental and social footprint of research while also helping to relieve the pressure of the current competitive funding environment, thereby allowing more science to be funded.

Suggested Topics to Include in Grant Proposals
As a first step in this systematic change, the UAG is calling for voluntary inclusion of a description of efficient practices and/or facilities into grant proposals.
