We used Pivot-RP, a database that helps researchers identify funding opportunities and potential collaborators across a wide range of disciplines, including the arts, education, health, humanities, science, and industry. Pivot-RP automatically generates user profiles from publicly available information, which users can also refine and update. Using a tailored set of keywords, we identified Penn faculty whose research connects to climate change challenges. 

Penn faculty may request updates to the Faculty Finder and access curated lists of colleagues organized by one or multiple topic areas. 

If you would like to know more about how Penn’s research connects to climate, please feel free to submit your inquiries to Xime Trujillo at xime@upenn.edu.
