Indiana University has appointed faculty member and former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official Janet McCabe as the next director of the Prepared for Environmental Change Grand Challenge initiative, the second project developed and funded through IU's Grand Challenges Program.

In this role, McCabe will direct the Environmental Resilience Institute, where she currently serves as assistant director of policy and implementation. The Environmental Resilience Institute was launched in 2017 as part of the IU Prepared for Environmental Change initiative.
