Colorado Water Center CSU Grant Program

Every year, the Colorado Water Center (CoWC) funds a select number of grants which catalyze innovative water research, education, and engagement through interdisciplinary collaboration and creative scholarship. These awards encourage partnerships between faculty and extension personnel to develop a more holistic understanding of water resource issues, integrate translation of this understanding into the water resource profession, and educate the future water workforce.
