This $5,000,000 cooperative agreement, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), aims to integrate biophysical, biogeochemical, engineering, and social science research to advance sustainable water resource management in Missouri. Key activities include enhancing the Missouri Water Center's organizational and laboratory infrastructure, conducting high-priority research on water monitoring and flood resiliency planning, and implementing a seed-grant program to fund interdisciplinary water research. The project, which runs from October 2023 through September 2026, will establish the Missouri Water Center as a hub for water knowledge across stakeholders, a site to coordinate large collaborative research grants, and an asset for faculty to conduct research. A sub-award to Northeastern University will gather local data and analyze findings to support the project's stakeholder engagement and research activities.
