The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC), formerly the Waste Management and Research Center, will not have a solicitation for FY2010 research proposals this year. ISTC has insufficient new funds available in FY10 to justify a full solicitation. We will notify you next year if circumstances change. Thank-you for your interest in the research program at ISTC.
