Great Lakes Watershed Program

WRI’s competitive grants program is operated in partnership with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation’s Great Lakes Program. The primary objective of this program is to bring innovative science to watershed planning and implementation, water resources management, and policy. WRI encourages proposals that support the strategic goals of the GLAA andadvance the current state of scientific knowledge and technology  to promote ecosystem-based decision-making. If you have a research project that you think would be of interest to the Great Lakes Program, or want to make WRI aware of your expertise for consideration in future funding calls, please contact us at nyswri [at] cornell.edu (nyswri[at]cornell[dot]edu).
