The Arkansas Water Resources Center (“AWRC”) issued an announcement stating that requests for pre-proposals for the 104(b) Grant Program are being solicited.
AWRC states that it is inviting:
… pre-proposals for research projects that address critical water needs in Arkansas.
The funding opportunity is stated to be part of the U.S. Geological Survey 104(b) Grant Program.
Those eligible include any faculty member or affiliate at a college or university in Arkansas. Further, students with a faculty advisor are also eligible to apply for a smaller student grant that supplements current research efforts. However, federal employees are stated to be NOT eligible as a principal investigator, but can collaborate with faculty as a co-investigator.
AWRC notes that funding is contingent upon USGS funds being provided. Funding is anticipated to be as follows:
- Faculty researchers up to $35,000.
- Student researchers up to $10,000.
The submission deadline is March 2nd by 5:00 pm.
