Deadline Approaching for 104B Competitive Grant Opportunity
The deadline to submit a water research pre-proposal to the Arkansas Water Resources Center is September 2, 2016.
Revision to RFP: The previously published Request for Pre-Proposals has recently been revised. Specifically, researchers investigating the following topics are highly encouraged to apply:
• Harmful Algal Blooms
• Phosphorus sources and transport
• Edge of field monitoring (especially a survey of existing data in Arkansas).
The National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR) and the US Geological Survey are encouraging Centers that are located within the Mississippi River Basin to conduct complimentary research. The goal of this coordinated research effort is to develop a data or information base that can ultimately support a competitive regional water proposal at a much larger scale to address the largest water quality issues in our region.
Eligibility: All faculty at colleges and universities in Arkansas are eligible to apply. Students with a faculty advisor are also eligible to apply for a smaller student grant that supplements current research activities.
Funding: We anticipate funding faculty research up to $25,000 and student research up to $5,000.
How to Apply: Go to our website to view the full RFP which includes detailed instructions about pre-proposal requirements, as well as useful templates. Pre-proposals are due no later than 5:00 pm on September 2, 2016 by emailing all required parts as a single pdf to erins@uark.edu.
