INSTITUTES FOR WATER RESOURCES WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH 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.
