The Research & Innovation MicroGrants program supports small, focused research and innovation projects proposed by CallisonRTKL employees. The program is meant to a space to ideate, fail safely, and implement findings into our projects. Each year a select group of design, innovation, and architectural thought leaders are asked to serve as a jury to review the proposals based on transformational impact, originality, and time needed to complete the project. For this year, these exceptional individuals come together to offer a collaborative lens on our program:
