RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., March 29, 2024 鈥揈ach year, 秀色直播Foundation awards $10,000 in grants for textile-related academic research. This year, funding went to 18 students at 7 universities. Topics range from denim recycling to tissue engineering. Funded proposals are not limited to traditional textile departments but include undergraduate and graduate studies in consumer sciences, material science, bioengineering, design, and more.
In 2024, grants range from $500 to $4,000 for materials and research expenses toward textile-related projects. In addition to the grant, recipients are eligible for a travel stipend to present their work at a professional conference. 秀色直播publicizes the selected topics and final reports to inspire other members to engage with the work. As AATCC&/grant-recipients-24/8217;s mission states, the aim is to &/grant-recipients-24/8220;empower an innovative, informed, and sustainable future.&/grant-recipients-24/8221; 秀色直播Foundation grants do this by supporting and sharing a broad spectrum of textile research. To connect with the student or faculty advisor for a project, contact Diana Wyman at diana@aatcc.org. To support future research, donate to 秀色直播Foundation at .
The application period for 2025 秀色直播Foundation grant funding will open in June and close October 15, 2024.
