새 재사용 물공급 부문에서의 증가하는 물관리 유연성에 발맞춰 수처리 기술을 향상시키는 노력의 일환으로 미국 교화국(Bureau of Reclamation)이 두 자금 기회에 대해 제안을 찾고 있다. 하나는 연구 및 실험에 대한 자금이고, 다른 하나는 파일럿 프로젝트에 대한 자금이다.

교화국은 최대 140만 달러까지 펀딩 기회에 이용 가능한 자금을 마련할 계획이다. 연구 및 실험에는 최대 15만 달러, 파일럿 프로젝트는 최대 40만 달러가 필요할 것으로 예상된다.

 

 

 

In an effort to improve water treatment technologies aimed at increasing water management flexibility through new usable water supplies in the U.S., the Bureau of Reclamation is seeking proposals within two funding opportunities: the first for research and laboratory studies and the second for pilot projects.

 

Reclamation will make a total of up to $1.4 million available for the funding opportunities (see "Reclamation to fund $1.4M for nine desalination, water purification research projects"). Research and laboratory studies may request up to $150,000, and pilot projects may request up to $400,000.

 

Applicants are required to provide at least a 50-percent cost-share utilizing non-federal dollars. Institutions of higher education are not required to provide a cost-share for research and laboratory studies, but it is encouraged.

 

The Desalination and Water Purification Research Program is helping Reclamation and its partners confront widening imbalances between supply and demand in basins throughout the West through testing and development of new advanced water treatment technologies.

 

Eligible applicants include individuals, institutions of higher education, commercial or industrial organizations, private entities, public entities, and Indian Tribal Governments.

 

The funding opportunities are available at www.grants.gov by searching for announcement number R15AS00019 for research and laboratory studies and R15AS00021 for pilot projects. Applications are due on February 16, 2015, at 4 p.m., Mountain Standard Time.
