NATIONAL INSTITUTES FOR WATER RESOURCES
U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH
NATIONAL COMPETITIVE GRANTS PROGRAM
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
FY 2005

ABSTRACT

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources requests proposals for matching grants to support research on the topics of water supply and water availability, which are issues of importance nationwide. Proposals are sought in not only the physical dimensions of supply and demand, but also quality trends in raw water supplies, the role of economics and institutions in water supply and demand, institutional arrangements for tracking and reporting water supply and availability, and institutional arrangements for coping with extreme hydrologic conditions. For planning purposes, the amount available for research under this program is estimated to be $1,000,000 in federal funds, though there has not been a FY 2005 appropriation of funds for this program as of the date of this Announcement and the Government's obligation under this program is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds. Any investigator at an institution of higher learning in the United States is eligible to apply for a grant through a Water Research Institute or Center established under the provisions of the Water Resources Research Act of 1984, as amended. Proposals involving substantial collaboration between the USGS and university scientists are encouraged. Proposals may be for projects of 1 to 3 years in duration and may request up to $250,000 in federal funds. Successful applicants must match each dollar of the federal grant with one dollar from non-federal sources. Proposals must be filed on the Internet at https://niwr.org/ by 5:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time, February 22, 2005 and must be approved for submission to the National Competitive Grants Program not later than 5:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time, March 4, 2005 by the Institute or Center through which they were submitted. The Announcement (Request for Proposals) may be obtained either by going to https://niwr.org/ and then clicking on "view the RFP" under National Competitive Grants Program -104G or by going directly to https://niwr.org/2005_104G_RFP.
