Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R11AP81325) is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Denver Office), under the WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507). It is a discretionary grant in the Natural Resources category, with a single expected award. The funding amount is fixed at 50,000 dollars (award floor and ceiling are both 50,000), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted June 10, 2011, with an application deadline of June 24, 2011, and it was archived June 25, 2011.
The purpose of the award is to support outreach products tied to a larger National Research Council effort led by the Water Science and Technology Board. That broader NRC study is examining how water reclamation and reuse could help meet future U.S. water supply needs across a wide range of applications, including potable reuse (drinking water), non-potable urban uses, agricultural irrigation, industrial process water, groundwater recharge, and environmental or ecosystem purposes. The study is designed as a comprehensive, consensus-driven assessment that looks not only at technical feasibility, but also at economic considerations and the institutional and social factors that can enable or block wider adoption of reuse.
The underlying study is being carried out by a committee of about 14 volunteer experts supported by NRC staff. Over roughly two years, the committee is expected to hold approximately five meetings to take briefings, collect and evaluate information, deliberate on key issues, and draft its findings. The main deliverable from the committee is a published report that addresses the technical, economic, institutional, and social challenges associated with scaling up water reuse in the United States, and that offers practical guidance for decision makers weighing water supply alternatives. The report will go through standard NRC peer review procedures prior to release. A pre-publication version is anticipated about 21 months after the study begins, followed by an additional three-month period for editing, final publication through the National Academies Press, and related briefings and dissemination activities.
This specific grant focuses on the outreach component that accompanies the final report. The Water Science and Technology Board proposed creating materials for sponsoring organizations and other interested parties to help communicate the study results beyond the full technical report. A key outreach deliverable highlighted in the announcement is a short, eight-page, full-color brochure derived from the final report, intended for broad dissemination and accessible presentation of the findings to a wider audience.
Eligibility is limited to the National Academy of Sciences, reflecting that the outreach work is directly connected to the NRC process and its final consensus report products. For assistance with the announcement, the listed contact is Michelle Maher, Grants Officer at the Bureau of Reclamation (303-445-2025).
