Please share this announcement among your respective communities. The Subsurface Biogeochemical Research (SBR) program announces its interest in receiving research applications seeking to advance a predictive understanding of how watersheds function as integrated hydro-biogeochemical systems and how these systems respond to perturbations caused by changes in water availability and quality, contaminant release, nutrient cycling, land-use, vegetation cover and snowmelt timing. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will consider standard and exploratory applications that focus on measurements, experiments and modeling to provide improved quantitative and predictive understanding of how hydro-biogeochemical processes function in watershed systems. SBR is seeking research applications on topics in the following areas: a) ecohydrology and hydro-biogeochemistry, and b) geochemistry and biogeochemistry. Applicants are required to clearly delineate an integrative, hypothesis-driven approach and clearly describe the existing needs and gaps in state-of-the-art models .
Applications from this FOA (DE-FOA-0002035 - https://science.energy.gov/ber/funding-opportunities/) will support the scientific goals of the SBR activity. More information on the program can be found at https://science.energy.gov/ber/research/cesd/subsurface-biogeochemical-research/ and https://doesbr.org/. Please note the schedule below: Deadline for Pre-applications (required): February 14, 2019; 5:00 pm eastern time Deadline for Proposals: April 11, 2019; 11:59 pm eastern time Please see the announcement for additional details. __________________________________________ Daniel B.
