The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering this grant through its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program to establish a Center for innovative and sustainable water research. This funding seeks proposals that adopt a comprehensive systems view of nutrient management in national waters. A systems approach considers all interconnected factors influencing water quality, including societal and technological aspects like local resources, land use, watershed health, manure management, energy costs, wastewater treatment, and nutrient recovery. Proposals should also evaluate the monetized and non-monetized co-benefits and consequences, such as improved recreational value or decreased sediment runoff, associated with nutrient management programs. The goal is to address national water quality priorities effectively.

| Description: | The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of its Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program is seeking applications to establish a Center to conduct water research and demonstration projects that are innovative and sustainable using a systems approach for nutrient management in the Nations waters.
This Request for Applications (RFA) is soliciting proposals that take a systems view of nutrient management. A systems view of nutrient management considers every potential link in the breadth of possibilities that may influence water quality. These may involve societal and technological considerations and may include, but are not limited to: local resources, prevailing land uses, watershed health, manure management, energy costs, municipal wastewater treatment, in-building water reuse, or nutrient resource recovery. A systems view would also consider valuation of monetized and non-monitized possible co-benefits and consequences (e.g., decreased sediment runoff, improved recreational value) which may be part of a nutrient management program. |
