WRRC Now Accepting 104 Water Research Grant Proposals | Water Resources Research Center | The University of Arizona WRRC Now Accepting 104 Water Research Grant Proposals Please help us spread the news—the WRRC is now accepting proposals for this year’s federal WRRA 104(b) and 104(g) grants. The Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Section 104(b) program provides small grants for research projects on water-related issues in Arizona.
Proposals featuring student work are encouraged. The 104(g) program supports research that is regional or national in scope, and the call for proposals includes a track for research specifically focused on Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in water resources. The typical 104(b) award is $10,000 for the September 1 through August 31 project year.
With help from topic experts, the WRRC reviews proposals and includes those selected in its annual submission to the US Geological Survey (USGS), which administers the 104(b) program. The deadline to submit a 104(b) proposal is 5:00 pm MST on March 17, 2025. Applicants submitting 104(g) proposals may request up to $310,000 in federal funds for projects lasting one to three years.
Although this award is also administered by USGS, the 104(g) grant requires that proposals be submitted through the state water resources research institutes (WRRI) authorized by the WRRA; the WRRC is Arizona’s designated WRRI. Applications for 104(g) grants will be accepted until 5:00 pm MST on April 25, 2025. Faculty and research personnel at any of Arizona’s three state universities may submit proposals to either or both programs.
Guidelines for both programs require that there be a 1:1 match of non-federal to federal dollars. Proposal instructions can be found at the links below. As always, 104(b) and 104(g) grants are subject to the availability of federal funding.
Due to uncertainty around possible changes under the new administration, it is unclear whether this year’s funding will be comparable to that of previous years. The 2025 Request for Proposals (RFP) from USGS has not yet been released. The WRRC will provide updates as they become available.

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.

AI Forge is a jointly governed, university-led venture funding interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness in one-year Project Ventures — here's how the 15 challenges, the CAISI tie, and the nonprofit administrator reshape who gets funded.
Read articleOn June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
