Since 2012, WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities awards a young researcher every year with the Lee Schipper Memorial Scholarship for Sustainable Transport and Energy Efficiency. This award was created to celebrate Lee Schipper, one of the founders of EMBARQ and an enthusiastic supporter of building closer links between rigorous research and policy-making. The Scholarship awards up to two candidates a maximum of $10,000 each to advance transformative research in efficient and sustainable transport. Applications are due by March 18, 2020.
I was honored along with Joanna Moody to receive this award in 2017. It was a great and enriching experience and I would strongly encourage other researchers to apply for the Lee Schipper Award.
