Weekly Wave: USGS National Competitive Grant Program Opportunity

The WRRC is accepting proposals for the FY 2022 Water Resources Research National Competitive Grants Program (104g). Publication of the Request for Proposals by USGS is expected soon and will be announced in future Weekly Wave publications. These grants support research on water problems and issues of a regional or interstate nature. Any investigator at an institution of higher learning in the US is eligible to apply for a grant through a Water Research Institute or Center established under the Water Resources Research Act of 1984. The WRRC is the designated Water Resources Research Institute for Arizona. Proposals may be for projects of one to three years in duration and may request up to $250,000 in federal funds. A 1:1 non-federal match is required. Proposals that include a USGS collaborator as a co-PI are encouraged. Submitting preproposals to the WRRC is the first step in the 104g grant application process. Proposals should be submitted by email to Program Manager Michael Seronde (seronde@arizona.edu) no later than 5:00 pm MST, Friday, April 8, 2022. Funds have not yet been appropriated for this program for FY 2022 and the Government's obligation under this program is contingent upon the availability of funds.
