WERF is seeking research that will focus on institutional issues and governance structures impacting established water, wastewater and stormwater management, and will explore stakeholder-driven solution-sets (of green/gray infrastructure, centralized/decentralized operation and management, and resource recovery) that can drive utility adoption of a broader “One Water Paradigm”. WERF funds water quality research on behalf of its subscribers, and facilitates collaboration among organizations seeking funding partners for high-priority issues. WERF awards funding through a competitive process and coordinates funding under contract through a staff-assigned program manager. All qualified entities — including international organizations and disadvantaged business enterprises — are encouraged to submit research proposals.

The goal of the Urban Waters Small Grants program is to fund research, investigations, experiments, training, surveys, studies, and demonstrations that will advance the restoration of urban waters by improving water quality through activities that also support community revitalization and other local priorities. EPA expects to award approximately up to $1.6 million to support such projects, in grants of $40,000 to $60,000 each. The funding is part of EPA’s Urban Waters program, which supports communities in their efforts to access, improve, and benefit from their urban waters and the surrounding land. http://www2.epa.gov/urbanwaters/urban-waters-small-grants
