Incentives for developing sustainability Courses at Georgia Tech take many forms.
Georgia Tech's reputation for academic and research excellence help facilitate opportunities for grants, contracts, and consulting opportunities. An example is the grant recently received to Establish One of Nation's 1st Cross-Disciplinary Energy PhD Programs.
Georgia Tech's interdisciplinary centers, basic science expertise, expert engineering faculty, collaborative atmosphere, and cutting edge industry partnerships provide a solid foundation to build and innovate upon.
Funding is also offered as incentives. Examples include the GT FIRE funding which developed around the Strategic Planning Initiatives and stipends associated with the ThinkBIG program in Housing.
