Opportunity Information: Apply for G23AS00485
The WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH ACT PROGRAM NATIONAL COMPETITIVE GRANTS FY2023 PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT (104g General) is a USGS-administered competitive grant opportunity authorized under Section 104 of the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-242), as later amended by multiple public laws. The program exists to support water resources research through the nationwide network of Water Resources Research Institutes (WRRIs) that were established under Section 104(a) of the Act. These institutes operate in every U.S. state and also cover the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. In addition, the Guam institute serves the Federated States of Micronesia and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Hawaii institute also serves American Samoa. Program administration responsibility sits with the U.S. Geological Survey, which has been delegated this role by the Department of the Interior.
Eligibility is structured in a specific way: awards can only be made to the officially recognized WRRIs listed on the USGS WRRI directory. Even though the institute is the entity that receives the award, the opportunity is designed so that investigators at U.S. institutions of higher education can still compete for funding, as long as they apply through (and are sponsored by) a WRRI. In practice, that means a faculty member or other eligible investigator develops the proposal, but the submission and award relationship runs through the WRRI host university. The announcement also notes that proposals may request matching funds from the institute, but that decision is left entirely to the discretion of the Institute Director, so applicants should expect that any cost-share or match support is not automatic and may vary by institute.
Applications must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov by the university where the institute is located (not by an individual investigator acting alone). Required submission components include the full proposal and the standard federal forms SF-424 and SF-424B, along with budget forms. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the natural resources area and is associated with CFDA number 15.805. The specific funding opportunity number is G23AS00485, and the original closing date listed for this FY2023 cycle was April 27, 2023. The posted award ceiling is $310,000, indicating the maximum anticipated funding level per award under this announcement (with the number of expected awards not specified in the provided source text).
Overall, this program functions as a national competitive research funding mechanism that channels federal support for water-related research through the WRRI network. It is aimed at leveraging the institutes as statewide and territorial hubs for identifying water issues, coordinating research capacity, and submitting proposals into a federal competition administered by USGS, while still allowing individual university-based researchers to lead the science as long as they coordinate submission through an eligible institute.Apply for G23AS00485
