The Texas Water Resources Institute announces requests for proposals for the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources matching grants to support research on the topics of water supply and water availability.
The amount available for research under this program is estimated at $920,000 in federal funds. Any investigator at a Texas university is eligible to apply for a grant through TWRI.
Proposals involving substantial collaboration between the USGS and university scientists are encouraged. Proposals may be for projects of 1 to 3 years 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 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.
