EPA Early Career Awards - Consequences of Global Change for Water Quality

http://es.epa.gov/ncer/rfa/2008/2008_star_gcwq.html
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and
Development (ORD) National Center for Environmental Research (NCER),
in cooperation with the EPA Global Change Research Program, announces
a competition for projects supporting research into the consequences
of climate change for U.S. water quality to support human and aquatic
life uses. EPA is interested in the hydrologic and other watershed
processes that affect water resources that may be altered by a
changing climate. A better national scale understanding of the range
of potential consequences of climate change will be useful both for
fully accounting for the impacts of climate change and for developing
regional adaptive strategies to reduce the risk of harmful impacts.
The goal of this solicitation is to assemble modeling systems capable
of capturing important linkages between regional climate drivers and
terrestrial hydrologic systems and to apply these modeling systems to
improve the overall understanding of the sensitivity of key water
quality or aquatic ecosystem management targets to the types of
climate changes anticipated over the next several decades.

In addition to regular awards, this solicitation includes the
opportunity for early career projects. Please see Section III of this
Request for Applications (RFA) for details on the early career
eligibility criteria.
