Think you’ve got a solution to a climate problem in Northeast Florida? It could be good enough to win up to $10,000 in funding to take it to the next step.
Jacksonville University is launching the JU Climate Innovation Challenge to invite community members to submit innovative solutions to environmental challenges and win funding to make their ideas come true.
The Challenge is a Shark Tank-style grant competition open to residents of all ages. Application details are available here.
We learned more from Quint White of the JU Marine Science Research Lab and Nick Allard, dean of the JU College of Law.
