Center for Energy Studies
Powering the future is one of this generation’s biggest challenges – and UTulsa is driving the conversation
UTulsa’s Center for Energy Studies fosters collaborative research across colleges and with industry while providing experiential opportunities for students. The most interesting problems in energy are cross-functional and UTulsa is embracing this with cross-college collaboration. The Center for Energy Studies has four major areas of focus which collectively describe short-term and long-term energy supply, access, and pricing risks covering all types of energy.
Our Focuses
Security

Microgrants
The Center for Energy Studies at the Collins College of Business is launching a Cross-College Collaboration (C3) Program to support impactful, interdisciplinary research on pressing energy industry issues. This program encourages teams from at least two colleges – one of which must be the Collins College of Business or the College of Engineering and Computer Science, to develop solutions on topics like energy security, regulatory impact, and responsible supply chain management.
Selected teams can receive $5,000 in microgrants for initial proposal development, with up to 15 ideas chosen. Proposals must be submitted by November 22 for Research Council evaluation. Final funding will be awarded to up to nine projects, each potentially receiving up to $50,000 to support a year-long research effort.
