Current Opportunities
The solicitation is a coordinated effort of the University of Wisconsin System, and the Wisconsin departments of Natural Resources; Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection; and Safety and Professional Services. This cooperative solicitation allows interested individuals to prepare project proposals that can be submitted to several different funding sources simultaneously and eliminates the need to submit similar proposals several times for different solicitation efforts. It is our intent that this joint solicitation will make it easier for interested researchers to prepare proposals, promote coordination among state organizations and researchers, and enhance the ability of state agencies and the UW System to meet their objectives.
The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the National Institutes for Water Resources issued the following 104g request for proposals for matching grants with a short turnaround time for submission:
