On January 6, 2023, The Sustainable LA Grand Challenge (SLAGC) initiative announced its new Transformative Research and Collaboration (TRACtion) program. TRACtion will be a series of collaborative activities and opportunities across a two-year period, with a significant emphasis on civic engagement and societal impact. The program is aimed at bringing academics together with stakeholders in the region to co-develop a multi-year regional sustainability agenda for future research, education and service activities at UCLA.SLAGC will be partnering with UCLA’s Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) to pilot the first two-year cycle of this program, which will thematically focus on Transforming Transportation in Los Angeles.
The kickoff event for TRACtion will be Thursday, January 26 at the Morrison Room from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. To stay-up-to-date of this opportunity and more, fill out this interest form here: Interest Intake Form for Faculty and Researchers and direct any questions to SLAGC Director of Research Development Jennifer Craer at TRACtion@ucla.edu.
