Water Resources Research Institute funding opportunities

Colleagues,

Those with an interest in water policy, coastal policy, and related fields will find these opportunities interesting (forwarded to us, as usual, by the always-helpful and supportive Carol Ashcraft).

Two Water Resources Research Institute funding opportunities, plus three others from federal and state sponsors, are listed below.

 

WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH INSTITUTE

FY 2013-2014 research funding: Any topic of significance for North Carolina water resources. Successful pre-proposals must make a strong case for the proposed project’s relevance and importance to North Carolina, whether or not the exact project topic appears on the list of research priorities.  WRRI encourages collaboration among researchers from different institutions, and with federal, state, and local agencies. Additional consideration will be given to qualified pre-proposals from principal investigators in early-career status.

Pre-proposals are due June 1, 2012.  The RFP (plus a link to WRRI research priorities) can be found athttp://www.ncsu.edu/wrri/code/research/callforproposals.htm  .

N.C. SEA GRANT, in partnership with the WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, has issued a call for proposals for mini-grants with strong relevance to the land-sea margin of North Carolina:  

One-year projects, with budgets up to $20k in grant funds. 

Indirect costs may not be charged, and no matching funds are required. 

Projects must focus on a significant aspect of the connection between NC coastal waters and the fresh water inputs they receive.  The project activities need not be precisely equal between fresh and marine waters but the connection between fresh and marine must be clear and significant, and represent the central focus of the project. 

Proposals are due Friday, June 1, 2012.

For the RFP, see http://www.ncsu.edu/wrri/code/research/minigrants.htm .
