The WRRC is now accepting proposals for the FY 2024 Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Section 104(g) National Competitive Grants Program. Grants will support research on water problems and issues of a regional or interstate nature. The 104(g) grant program funds two categories of grants — general and PFAS — each with its own research priorities and RFP. Any investigator at an institution of higher learning in the U.S. is eligible to apply.
Proposals may request up to $310,000 in federal funds and proposed projects may be from 1–3 years in duration. The federal funds request must be matched 1:1 with a non-federal contribution. Proposals that include a USGS collaborator as a co-PI are encouraged. Submitting pre-proposals to the WRRC is the first step in applying for 104(g) program grants. Proposals must be submitted by email to Jessie Hampton.
Note that funds have not yet been appropriated for this program for FY 2024, and the government’s obligation under this program is contingent upon the availability of such funds. Visit the WRRC’s website for program information and application guidance.
Proposal deadline: March 27, 2024 (before 5:00 PM MST)
