WSU Food-Energy-Water Seed Grants Awarded

In response to recent internal and external calls for Food-Energy-Water (FEW) research, CEREO in conjunction with the State of Washington Water Research Center (SWWRC) and the Center for Sustaining Agriculture & Natural Resources (CSANR) offered seed and planning grants to scientists with promising FEW research ideas. These grants provide a head start on upcoming calls for FEW research and a unique opportunity to collaborate across traditional home disciplines.

The three Centers are pleased to announce the following 2015 FEW Seed and Planning Grant recipients:

An Integrated Biophysical-Economic Study of a Model FEW System: Columbia River Reservoir Storage and Spill
