The Institute for Water and Watersheds (IWW) is pleased to announce its second annual call for proposals from graduate students. The IWW supports graduate student projects that assist OSU faculty, state or local agencies that are responsible for examining issues related to long-term water and watershed management with a focus on creating sustainable solutions that balance resource stewardship with economic viability for local communities.
Graduate students will find their own faculty mentor for their project. The project should involve water resources related research in topics including, but not limited to: water resources science, water resources engineering, or water resources policy and management. The awards are not necessarily limited to students enrolled in the Water Resources Graduate Program, but also in related fields such as agriculture, engineering, soil science, forestry, fisheries and wildlife, geosciences, sociology, political science, among others. The project proposal must not exceed one (1) single-spaced page (11-point font), with a brief budget (included in the one-page limit), and be accompanied by a two-page student CV and a one-page letter of support from the OSU faculty member who will act as mentor/supervisor. The mentor must commit to verifying the student’s work and approving their timesheet on a regular monthly basis. Proposals will be accepted only from current graduate students at Oregon State University.
We anticipate that $40,000 will be available from the Provost’s Initiative. IWW will make awards to as many as five students, each paid at a rate of $15 per hour. Student work hours from other awards (GTA/GRA) combined with these awards cannot exceed 0.49 FTE (20 hours per work week). Other expenses directly related to the student’s project such as travel expenses to project sites, conferences, or minor equipment expenses will be reviewed and may be awarded on a case-by-case basis. Tuition cannot be paid.
Proposals were due Monday, January 28, 2008, 5:00 p.m.. Do not submit attachments other than those requested. Late submissions will not be reviewed.
Forward your one-page proposal and budget, one-page letter of faculty support, and your two-page CV in electronic form to:
