Total available funds are approximately $250,000. This includes $92,000 in federal funds, if appropriated, from the U.S. Geological Survey.

If your pre-proposal is accepted, WRRI will request a full proposal from you that will be due November 7, 2008. Please follow the instructions closely. The maximum award is $50,000. The starting date for projects is no earlier than March 1, 2009 and must be completed within a 12-month period.

Investigators may apply for funding on continued (Phase II) research projects contingent upon successful progress on the first year’s funding. Investigators will still need to submit a pre-proposal to be considered for Phase II.
