NJWRRI Funding
Graduate Student Grants-In-Aid
Four to five awards of up to $5,000 each. These funds are intended to allow graduate students to pursue research that is not supported by other grant funds, or to carry out preliminary research to develop fundable thesis projects. The funds can be used for research assistant support, travel, supplies, or other direct research expenses. The student will be expected to present the results of the research at a regional or national scientific meeting. Proposals are selected for their relevance to New Jersey's water resources and for the scientific merit and the promise of future productivity. View summaries of research funded in 2006.
* Call for Proposals for Fiscal Year 2008 is now closed. Please check this page for future funding announcements.
Faculty-Initiated Projects
Two projects to be funded at a level of $30,000 per project. This funding is intended to support adequate staff and research costs for a major study. It will be possible to apply for a second year of funding at the same level. The investigator should indicate how the funding will act as a "seed grant" to spur the development of a larger research program on water resource problems, and what other sources of funding may be availble or may be sought to continue the research. All projects are selected based on their relevance to New Jersey's water resources. View summaries of research funded in 2006.
