Opportunity Information: Apply for G21AS00517
The WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH ACT PROGRAM ANNUAL BASE GRANTS (Fiscal Year 2021) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the authority of Section 104 of the Water Resources Research Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-242), as amended by several subsequent public laws. The core purpose of the program is to provide annual base funding to the nationwide network of Water Resources Research Institutes and Centers that were formally established under the Act. In practice, this funding supports coordinated, state- and territory-based water resources research capacity through these designated Institutes and Centers, helping maintain a consistent national infrastructure for water-related research, training, and problem-solving aligned with local and regional needs.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applications are only accepted from the officially recognized Water Resources Research Institutes or Centers created pursuant to Section 104(a) of the Act. These Institutes exist in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. The program also recognizes the regional service roles of certain Institutes: the Guam Institute additionally serves the Federated States of Micronesia and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Hawaii Institute additionally serves American Samoa. Individual universities, departments, or independent organizations do not apply directly unless they are operating as the designated Institute/Center for that jurisdiction. Within each eligible Institute or Center, the applicant is expected to draw potential research projects from faculty members or affiliates at institutions of higher education within its state (or relevant jurisdiction), reinforcing the program’s structure as a state-based institute program that channels support through higher-education research communities.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity with a natural resources focus (CFDA 15.805). The opportunity number is G21AS00517, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $375,000. The announcement was created on May 18, 2021, with an original application closing date of June 4, 2021. While the listing indicates “ExpectedAwards:” without a number provided in the supplied text, the design of the program is typically to provide annual base grants to the eligible Institutes and Centers rather than to a broad pool of unrelated applicants.
Overall, the opportunity functions as an annual base grant mechanism to sustain the Water Resources Research Institute program’s mission through USGS oversight. It reinforces a consistent, legislatively authorized network of Institutes that can identify water resource research priorities within their jurisdictions and support university-based investigators and affiliates in addressing those priorities through research and related institute activities.Apply for G21AS00517
