SCoRE faculty and staff support, lead, and engage in Community-engaged Sustainability Research projects across the Greater Atlanta region and the Southeastern United States. The research training programs and collaborations we run:

  • Engage community partners as experts and as co-planners, co-researchers, and co-decision-makers
  • Aim to achieve concrete and meaningful community outcomes that advance social equity

Our programs are grounded in and seek to advance our Principles for Engaging in Equitable Research Partnerships with Communities, which were developed in collaboration with our External Advisory Council and other community partners and faculty collaborators.

Core research collaborators at Georgia Tech include:

Our core ongoing research programs include our Faculty Fellows training program and our Community-Engaged Sustainability Research (CESR) Collaborative, which brings together our collaborators listed above to streamline community-engaged sustainability research, share and develop best practices, and works to make CESR a pillar of Georgia Tech's research enterprise.

Our current Action Research projects include the Southeast Direct Air Capture (SEDAC) Hub, led by the Southern States Energy Board and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), for which SCoRE serves as the regional community engagement lead for the Community Benefits Plan (CBP), and the Southeast Community-Owned Resilience Hubs project, which is facilitating collaborations among faculty, municipal, and community partners in urban and coastal areas of the Southeast to advance community leadership for resilience.  We are also slated to serve as the Georgia CBP lead for the Low-Carbon Calcined Clay Cement Demonstration project, led by Summit Materials, which has been selected by DOE for award negotiations.
