2012 RFP for USGS National Competitive Grants Program Announced
The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water
Resources requests proposals for matching grants to support research on the topic of
improving and enhancing the nation’s water supply, including (but not limited to)
enhancement of water supply infrastructure, development of drought impact indicators,
evaluation of the dynamics of extreme hydrological events and associated costs,
development of methods for better estimation of the physical and economic supply of
water, integrated management of ground and surface waters, the resilience of public
water supplies, and the evaluation of conservation practices. Proposals are sought in not
only the physical dimensions of supply, but also the role of economics and institutions in
water supply and in coping with extreme hydrologic conditions. The deadline for proposals is February 23, 2012. For more information.
