Office Hours: YPS Grant Program + Impact Accelerator 2026-2027

We're excited to announce the fifth year of the Yale Planetary Solutions (YPS) Grant Program, which includes the new Planetary Solutions Impact Accelerator. The YPS Grant Program + Impact Accelerator catalyzes work on planetary challenges from across the university.

Each year, approximately $2M is available to support faculty and staff projects that create new knowledge, spark action, and drive impact. This year, there will be awards made along three distinct tracks, with support ranging from $25,000 to $250,000, as well as support for commercialization through the Planetary Solutions Impact Accelerator. The deadline to submit proposals is 11:59 PM on January 30, 2026.

This is a drop-in session where you can ask any questions you may have about the YPS Grant Program and the new Impact Accelerator to Alex Reich, Director of Research and Impact at YPS, and Jim Boyle, Senior Executive Director of Faculty Innovation at Yale Ventures.
