IWRC will be seeking proposals to fund graduate students to do water resources related work of relevance to Illinois. The RFP should be issued in early fall 2009.
Funding Eligibility and Requirements
Graduate students from colleges and universities in Illinois who are enrolled as of August 2009 are eligible to apply. IWRC will fund one M.S. or Ph.D. student at 50% for 9-12 months to conduct research on Illinois water resources issues. Funding is available for a 9 to 12 month period between May 2009 and August 2010.
IWRC will pay the departmental student stipend rate, fringe benefits, tuition, and fees for the selected student. The student’s department must provide travel, supplies, space, equipment, and all indirect costs, which can be used as match.
