SUMMARY:Iowa Water Center Announces Available Research Grants
DESCRIPTION:Iowa Water Center Announces Available Research Grants \nAmes\, Iowa – The Iowa Water Center Annual Competitive Grants Competition is open for faculty and graduate students at accredited institutions in the State of Iowa. This year\, the Iowa Water Center is offering two funding opportunities: Graduate Student Supplemental Research Competition and a Targeted Seed Grant Research Competition. \nThe Graduate Student Supplemental Research Competition has funding of up to $5\,000 for one-year projects for a maximum of three graduate students nearing completion of their program of study. This program allows for students to complete additional research objectives or products beyond the scope of their current water-related funded project. For this opportunity\, proposals must address topics related to water resource management in Iowa. Iowa Water Center staff is available to assist students in the development of submissions. \nThe Targeted Seed Grant Research Competition is intended to address the most pressing water research needs in Iowa as determined by Iowa Water Center Advisory Board. The three focus areas for this opportunity are: \n\nWater related hazards and society: exploration of the intersections of land/water use\, and water hazards\, climate change\, or drought response. Research emphasizing social and environmental justice regarding these topics is preferred.\nExploration and advancement of our understanding of harmful algae blooms (HABs). Proposals are sought that focus on innovations in monitoring the occurrence of HABs and algal toxins\, research on factors that result in algal toxin production\, and improvements in near-real time modeling and forecasting of toxin-producing blooms.\nEmerging contaminants: research on the fate\, persistence\, transport\, and impacts of contaminants on water resources and ecosystem dynamics. Research can include social and/or economic assessment of the spread\, detection\, impacts\, solutions\, and management. Contaminants include per-and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances\, E. coli\, and other physical\, chemical\, and biological contaminants.\n\nResearch proposals must follow RFP guidelines and can be submitted to the Iowa Water Center via email (send to iowawatercenter@iastate.edu). All applicants must provide an intent to submit notice by Feb. 20\, 5 p.m.  \nProposals are due March 1\, by 5 p.m. Late proposals will not be accepted. More information regarding this opportunity can be found at the Iowa Water Center website. \nThe Iowa Water Center: The Iowa Water Center is a federally funded organization\, part of the National Institutes for Water Resources. Located on the Iowa State University campus\, it is one of 54 institutes located throughout the United States and U.S territories. The purpose of the Iowa Water Center is to identify water-related research needs\, provide outreach and education opportunities\, and disseminate information about Iowa’s water resources to the public to form better policies and everyday practices. \n###

SUMMARY:Navigating the Extremes: Call for Conference Presentation Proposals
DESCRIPTION:Deadline: March 15\, 2023 \n2023 Iowa Water Conference \nPrairie Meadows Conference Center (Altoona\, Iowa) \nSeptember 19-20\, 2023 \nThe 17th annual Iowa Water Conference will be held on September 19-20\, 2023\, at the Meadows Events and Conference Center at Prairie Meadows in Altoona\, Iowa. This year\, the conference theme is “Navigating the Extremes.” Climate change has been disrupting water supplies and impacting the environment\, socioeconomic structures\, and ecosystems\, such as forests\, soils\, lakes\, cities\, and communities. \nThe Iowa Water Conference and our conference planning partners invite individuals and groups to focus on the ways individuals and communities navigate climate extreme impacts on such areas as drinking water quality and quantity\, floods\, droughts\, and other related subjects. \nWe are planning three broad focus areas associated with the theme of the conference: \n\nClimate change: water insecurity\, managing/addressing water shortages/excess\, water quality\, cities’ climate action plans\, and related topics\nSociological implications of climate change: impact on underserved populations\, flood management\, planning for the metro area watersheds\, drought management\, including Iowa drought plan and associated policies\, building resiliency on many levels\, including water policy-building\, outreach and education on K-12 and college levels as part of curriculum/instruction and research in higher education\nWomen and water: climate change awareness of women landowners; women land legacy group(s); women’s role in policy- and community-building practices.\n\nAs a trend of increasing climate extremes is observed across the U.S.\, we are looking for the findings and responses to droughts\, floods\, heat waves and sudden intense rainfalls across our region. How do climate extremes impact our communities? What do we do to increase resilience and mitigate the impact of these increasingly frequent events? \nIowa Water Conference is a great opportunity for water\, climate\, agriculture\, and natural resource professionals to come together\, brainstorm and collaborate\, exchange ideas\, and learn from each other. \nJoin us in Altoona in September 2023 as we explore ways to navigate the extremes. \nProposal Information \nThe Iowa Water Conference Planning Committee is interested in proposals that address the theme of this year’s conference. Proposals that do not relate directly will be considered by the committee *if* they present new advances on the topic or emphasize interdisciplinary teams at work. \nAccepted proposals should include at least one of the following: \n\nEmphasize diversity of science and members of society (institution\, geography\, gender\, ethnicity\, subject)\nTimely water topics that address real-time needs of Iowans\nExemplify success stories\, ground-breaking data\, or interesting research approaches\nAddress policy discussions on water resources that are data-driven and informed by scientific discovery.\n\nPresentation Options \n\nKeynote presentation (45-minutes\, full conference audience)\nBreakout presentation (30-minutes\, small classroom session in a themed track)\nPanel presentation (60-minutes\, brief introduction with discussion among presenters and session attendees)\nMini workshop (60-minutes\, guided session that teaches the audience a skill\, technology\, or other material)\n\nSubject Areas (check top two that apply) \n\n2023 special focus: Des Moines and the Racoon River watersheds\n2023 special focus: Climate change and water\nCities’ climate action plans\nCommunity engagement and education\nCurrent research and technology\nLocal agriculture and urban partnerships\nPolicy making and water issues\nSociological implications of climate change\nSoil/water connection\nWater insecurity in Iowa\nWatershed management\nStorm water green infrastructure\nWomen\, leadership\, and water\nStream restoration.\n\nInformation Regarding Co-Presenters \nFor the abstract submission\, please register individuals co-presenting for any of the presentation options listed above.
