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 FY 2010.
* Call for Proposals for Fiscal Year 2012 is now closed. Please check back in Fall 2012 for our next funding announcement.
Faculty-Initiated Projects
Three to four projects to be funded at a level of $15,000 per project. This funding is intended to support adequate staff and research costs for a major study. 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 FY 2010.

NIWR Funding
USGS-NIWR National Competitive Grants Program
Proposals are requested on the topics of water supply and availability, including investigations of possible new sources of supply, improvement of impaired waters to usable quality, conservation of existing sources, and limiting growth in demand. Proposals are sought in not only the physical dimensions of supply and demand, but also quality trends in raw water supplies; the role of economics and institutions in water supply and demand; institutional arrangements fortracking and reporting water supply and availability; and institutional arrangements for coping with extreme hydrologic conditions.
Call for Proposals for FY 2012 is now closed. Please check back in November 2012 for the FY 2013 funding announcement.
