SUMMARY:The Water Resources Research Institutes National Competitive Grants Program (104G) Accepting Proposals
DESCRIPTION:National Competitive Grants Program (104G) Accepting Proposals \nThe U.S. Geological Survey\, in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources\, requests proposals for research projects to address improving and enhancing the nation’s water supply and availability\, as well as promoting the exploration of new ideas that address or expand our understanding of water problems. \nFor the 2023 National Competitive Grants Program\, proposals must address one of the priority areas: \n\nNational-scale evaluation of water budget: Retrospective or predictive analyses using hydroclimate-forcing data sets\, with emphasis on CONUS404\, which was developed in a USGS- NCAR collaboration.\n\nAdditional guidance includes: Emphasis on prediction of water-budget components through a variety of interpretive approaches; Incorporation of how uncertainty in hydroclimate-forcing propagates to water budget component; Consideration of both retrospective and projected conditions.\n\n\nSocieoeconomics: Integrate ongoing USGS research and data collection in order to assess socioeconomic and ecological vulnerability to compounding extreme events and develop adaptation measures. This proposed project should undertake new research (e.g.\, Water Use and Social and Economic Drivers Program) to understand the vulnerability of urban (e.g.\, trans-basin diversions)\, agricultural (e.g.\, reservoir management)\, and ecological (e.g.\, endangered species) water-use sectors to drought and compounding hazards such as wildfire.\n\nAdditional guidance includes: Provide a quantifiable portfolio of risk for water-use sectors (including ecological and socio-economic); Develop climate futures and planning scenarios for relevant institutions: management\, communities\, other institutions.\n\n\n\nAny investigator at an accredited institution of higher learning in the United States is eligible to apply for a grant through a Water Research Institute or Center established under the provisions of the Water Resources Research Act of 1984\, as amended (http://water.usgs.gov/wrri/index.php). \nProposals involving substantial collaboration between the USGS and university scientists are encouraged. Proposals may be for projects of 1 to 3 years in duration with discrete 12-month budget periods\, and may request up to $310\,000 in federal funds. Investigators much match one non-federal dollar to each federal dollar requested. \nThe deadline for submissions to the Iowa Water Center is April 15\, 2022 5 p.m. Central Time. Investigators are encouraged to read through the Iowa Submission Guidelines prior to reviewing the FY2023 announcement. \n104(g) Iowa Submission Guidelines \n104(g) FY2023 announcement

SUMMARY:National Competitive Grants Program for PER – AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) is Accepting Proposals
DESCRIPTION:The Water Resources Research Institutes National Competitive Grants Program for PER – AND POLYFLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES (PFAS) is Accepting Proposals \nThe U.S. Geological Survey\, in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources\, requests proposals for research projects to address the challenges and opportunities of understanding the effects of per-and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS)\nsubstances on water resources\, which are poorly understood\, despite the real and growing effect of this group of man-made substances on water quality and the resultant exposure to humans\, other organisms\, and ecosystems. \nResearch is needed to better understand these interactions and guide management decisions that will improve water resources at the regional or national scale. \nFor the 2023 National Competitive Grants Program\, proposals are sought on the following specific areas of inquiry: \n\nMedia-specific methods: Enhanced methods for detection on specific media\, with a clear indication of new or different compounds\, new or different methodological approaches\, lower detection levels for specific media or compounds\, especially with respect to EPA health guidelines for PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid) and PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate).\n\nMedia of interest include (in ranked order) (1) Tissues/plasma\, (2) sediment\, (3) air or interfaces\, (4) water. \n\nAtmospheric sources: Improved understanding of atmospheric exchange in PFAS distribution and fate. This may include methods to determine transport of PFAS to the atmosphere and to subsequent receiving waters\, such as a water method that determines “new” compounds based on their likelihood to occur in the atmosphere.\nProcesses oriented at molecular level: Process-oriented research of PFAS fate\, transport\, and effects\, with emphasis on molecular-level understanding of PFAS precursor transformation\, sorption dynamics\, or mechanisms of bioaccumulation and(or) biological/ecological effects.\n\nAny investigator at an accredited institution of higher learning in the United States is eligible to apply for a grant through a Water Research Institute or Center established under the provisions of the Water Resources Research Act of 1984\, as amended (http://water.usgs.gov/wrri/index.php). \nProposals involving substantial collaboration between the USGS and university scientists are encouraged. Proposals may be for projects of 1 to 3 years in duration with discrete 12-month budget periods\, and may request up to $279\,000 in federal funds. Investigators much match one non-federal dollar to each federal dollar requested. \nThe deadline for submissions to the Iowa Water Center is April 15\, 2023\, 5: 00 p.m. Central Time. Investigators are encouraged to read through the Iowa Submission Guidelines prior to reviewing the FY2023 announcement. \n104(g) Iowa Submission Guidelines \nPFAS FY2023 announcement \n

SUMMARY:National Competitive Grants Program for Aquatic Invasive Species Accepting Proposals
DESCRIPTION:The Water Resources Research Institutes National Competitive Grants Program for Aquatic Invasive Species is Accepting Proposals \nThe U.S. Geological Survey\, in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources\, requests proposals for research projects to address aquatic invasive species. For the 2023 National Competitive Grants Program\, proposals must address one of three priority areas: \n\nEffects: Research that improves our understanding of the effects of aquatic invasive species on lakes\, rivers\, and associated tributaries in the upper Mississippi River basin\, including changes to water quantity\, water quality\, and ecosystem dynamics.\nCharacteristics: Research that identifies physical\, biological\, and chemical characteristics of water bodies that infer resistance and resilience to the distribution\, establishment\, and effects of aquatic invasive species in the upper Mississippi River basin. Research is needed to better understand these interactions to guide management decisions that will improve invasive species management and result in positive effects on aquatic ecosystems.\nManagement: Research on assessment of the detection\, spread\, and management of aquatic invasive species in the upper Mississippi River basin and the connections to human dimensions\, both socially and economically. Note that this does not include physical control of AIS.\n\nAny investigator at an accredited institution of higher learning in the United States is eligible to apply for a grant through a Water Research Institute or Center established under the provisions of the Water Resources Research Act of 1984\, as amended (http://water.usgs.gov/wrri/index.php). \nProposals involving substantial collaboration between the USGS and university scientists are encouraged.
