Applied Science Grants
15.557
The objective of the Applied Science Grants is to improve access to and use of hydrologic data as well as to develop and improve water management tools and improve modeling and forecasting capabilities. Results from these projects will be used by water managers to increase water supply reliability, provide flexibility in water operations, improve water management, and support nature-based solutions.

Information not available. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 and 2014, Applied Science Grants for the Desert and Southern Rockies LCCs combined more than $2.1 million in Federal funding to enhance the management of natural and cultural resources that have a nexus to water resource management. For example, once completed, the funded projects are expected to develop decision support tools and methodologies to incorporate ecological flows into water management models used for basin-wide water supply planning; develop new biological information about springs and seeps; and develop a web-based tool to facilitate conservation planning. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 and 2016, the LCCs did not post an Announcement for financial assistance. Instead, the LCCs worked on building their technical capacity to assist their partners. For example, the Desert LCC invested in data and website platform development to more efficiently communicate data and research to resource managers.

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, Applied Science Grants were used to develop tools and information to support water resources managers in the West. Seven projects were selected for funding, including projects to improve access to water availability information through the development of web-based decision support tools, a project to improve the management of springs and related ecosystems, and a project to model drought conditions on Lake Mead to inform water treatment processes.
In FY 2019, $3.5 million in Federal funding was used to fund 19 Applied Science Grant projects. These projects totaled over $8 million in applied science projects.
