Washington Water Research Center Research Seed Grant

Note: This is not a limited submission and is being announced as a courtesy only.

There is a request for proposals for a seed grant program funded through the federal Water Resources Research Act Program and managed by the State of Washington Water Research Center. 

Proposals on any water-related topic of relevance to Washington State and the region will be considered, but proposals addressing the following priorities will be given preference:

  1. Climate change effects on water supply, demand, and quality.
  2. Analysis of policy and law relating to water resource management.
  3. Fate and transport of nutrients and emerging contaminants in the environment.
  4. Remote sensing and/or AI for water systems and management.
  5. Equity and justice in water resource access and management.
  6. Surface-groundwater interactions and conjunctive use management.

This is a great opportunity for early-career faculty to build partnerships with senior faculty, initiate new multidisciplinary collaboration, and support thesis and dissertation research.
