NJWRRI FY 2010 Grants Program Request for Proposals

The New Jersey Water Resources Research Institute invites proposals for research addressing water resource issues in the state. We expect to fund 2 larger research projects conducted by faculty and to fund 4-5 grants-in-aid to graduate students to support thesis research.

The mission of the NJWRRI is to fund research that addresses critical water resource problems in New Jersey, and by so doing, to produce the water resource professionals needed to protect and manage water in our increasingly crowded state. To this end, the Institute especially encourages proposals from junior faculty to develop research programs targeting priority water resource issues, and from graduate students to develop thesis research projects on these issues.

Two types of project are invited: a) research projects, which address unanswered questions in water resource sciences, and b) information transfer projects, which propose activities to make information available to user communities.

All information is also available at: http://njwrri.rutgers.edu/njwrri_funding.htm. The deadline to submit proposals is Friday, November 13, 2009.
