AWRI offers faculty research grants

The Annis Water Resources Institute is offering faculty research grants for projects related to AWRI programs and interest areas. Regular, visiting, and adjunct Grand Valley faculty members are encouraged to apply.

The purpose of the grants is to support pilot research projects on water and
related topics. Preference will be given to those projects that appear to
have the potential to contribute to AWRI programs and attract external
funding.

Grants of up to $5,000 will be made to support local travel, supplies,
student help, faculty stipends, or other project expenses; piority will be
given to projects based at the Lake Michigan Center in Muskegon, where the
faculty researcher can interact with AWRI staff. Institute facilities and
equipment are available to support projects.

The maximum duration of an award is one year. Successful applicants will be
required to present a research seminar at AWRI and submit a short, final
written report based on their funded research findings.

Deadline for submission of grant requests is February 21; awards will be
announced by March 29. More information and application forms can be
obtained by calling x13749.
