WRRC Invites Research Proposals

The University of Arizona’s Water Resources Research Center is accepting proposals for research grants under the Water Resources Research Act, Section 104B. Funded by the U.S. Geological Survey, Section 104B provides support for small research projects on water-related issues of state and regional importance. WRRC expects to receive about $50,000 to fund projects, although the federal budget has not yet been approved, and we do not have exact figures.

Only faculty members at the three Arizona state universities may submit proposals. Researchers in any of the social, biological, physical, and engineering sciences and fields such as water management, water law, and public health are invited to apply. The start date for funded projects is March 1, 2004.

This year proposals must be submitted electronically via the National Institutes for Water Resources web site. Also an electronic copy and ten hard copies must be submitted to WRRC. Guidelines are available on the WRRC web site: http://ag.arizona.edu/azwater/. The deadline for submitting complete proposals is the end of the working day, Monday, November 24.

Applications will be reviewed by the WRRC external advisory committee and a group of technical reviewers experienced in the field of the proposal. The WRRC will make final award decisions on the basis of rankings from both groups and available funding.

Also, U.S.G.S. in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources requests proposals for funding under 104G of the Water Resources Research Act, to support research on water supply and water availability. For planning purposes, the amount available for research under this program is estimated to be $1,000,000, although there has not yet been a FY 2004 appropriation for this program. Any investigator at an Arizona institution of higher learning is eligible to apply for a grant through the UA WRRC. The RFP can be obtained at https://niwr.org/2004_104G_RFP. 104G proposals must be filed by Mar. 1, 2004.
