TIE supports the Tufts community by administering environmental education programs and by contributing core funding to a variety of interdisciplinary projects, initiatives, and enterprises which allow students and faculty to engage with environmental issues and conversations that are occurring around the globe.

In particular, TIE supports student endeavors through a variety of programs and partnerships which allow Tufts students to conduct original research projects and pursue their own unique interests and goals. Chief among these student-focused enterprises are the TIE Environmental Research Fellowship, TIE Travel Grants, and the newly formed TIE-SEI Internship.

Below are examples of students who have received TIE funding in the last two years. We encourage you to explore their exciting and innovative research projects!
