The Kendeda Building Advisory Board conceived of this program in 2021. It provides micro research grants ($50 to $500) to Georgia Tech students, staff, faculty, and others in the greater Georgia Tech community to conduct limited but novel, research experiments, design exercises, crafting of models or prototypes, or development and analysis of datasets. Research relevant to the topic of regenerative built environments was required. Each team presented their research at the 2022 Kendeda Building Micro-Grant Symposium. The inaugural class of researchers were:
