Call for WRC Research Grant Proposals for FY 2024

Request for proposals for a seed grant program funded through the federal Water Resources Research Act Program and managed by the State of Washington Water Research Center. 

Proposals on any water-related topic of relevance to Washington State and the region will be considered, but proposals addressing the following priorities will be given preference:

  1. Climate change effects on water supply, demand, and quality.
  2. Analysis of policy and law relating to water resource management.
  3. Fate and transport of nutrients and emerging contaminants in the environment.
  4. Remote sensing of hydrologic systems and/or water use.
  5. Equity and justice in water resource access and management.
  6. Surface-groundwater interactions and conjunctive use management.

We anticipate funding three proposals for up to $30,000 (minimum $10,000), for one year.  This is a great opportunity for early-career faculty to build partnerships with senior faculty, initiate new multidisciplinary collaboration, and support thesis and dissertation research.

Proposal submission deadline is Friday, March 22, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. (PST). 

The Request for Proposals is available on the WRC website at Call for WRC Research Seed Grant Proposals for FY 2024.  Please forward this information to water researchers or institutions that you think might benefit from it.
