The ONEder Grant Program supports new or evolving research into how design influences the human experience. By empowering architects and designers to explore the impact of design on environments that shape us, we’re helping uncover new perspectives on sustainable materials, visual technology platforms and equity in design education, to network science applied to the workplace. Since 2019, we’ve awarded twenty one $20,000 grants to A/D firms across Northern California and Washington state.
