>The Virgin Islands Water Resources Research Institute
(VI-WRRI) at the University of the Virgin Islands has issued a Call
for Proposals for the 2009-2010 U.S. Geological Survey Water
Institute Program. Proposals that address water resources issues in
the U.S. Virgin Islands are sought. Funds for this program will be
made available through the Section 104 Institute Program of the
U.S. Department of Interior - U.S. Geological Survey. Approximately
$80,000 will be available to fund projects. Individual projects
should not exceed this amount. Projects in the $15,000 to $20,000
range are preferred. All UVI faculty and staff are eligible to
apply for these funds. Collaborations with non-UVI personnel are
allowed. Projects will be for a duration of one year, starting
March 1, 2009, and ending on Feb. 28, 2010. Proposals are due by
Friday, Nov. 14. The VI-WRRI Advisory Committee will review
proposals based on these criteria: technical merit, feasibility of
completion, competence of the principal investigator, training and
education opportunities provided, plans for the dissemination of
knowledge gained and local relevance. The local VI-WRRI Advisory
Committee will review proposals and recommendations for funding
will be made to the Director of the VI-WRRI. For details on
developing proposals, contact the VI-WRRI at 693-1062 or send email
