Water Research Request for Proposals
The West Virginia Water Research Institute (WVWRI) is requesting proposals for research expected to be funded March 1, 2012 through February 28, 2013. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) will sponsor the research. Faculty from all West Virginia colleges and universities are encouraged to apply. Closing date is November 9, 2011. Eligible applicants are faculty members or affiliates at institutions of higher education in the State of West Virginia. Multi-year projects are encouraged. Funding selected proposals is dependent upon the availability of funds. It is anticipated that 2-4 research projects each in the range of approximately $15,000 - $25,000 will be funded. Colleges and universities receiving research grants must provide 2:1 cost-sharing ($2 cost-share for every $1 Federal).
