This federal Project Grant award, valued at $150,000 and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084), supports the development of an open-source ecosystem of advanced web technologies for hydrological education, research, and operations (OSE-HERO). The University of Iowa, the grant recipient, will leverage client-side web technologies to create a comprehensive suite of web-based libraries and tools that integrate existing open-source solutions. This initiative aims to overcome limitations of traditional centralized data management systems by distributing computational load across client devices, enhancing efficiency and scalability. The project team, with expertise in hydrological computing and web-based analytics, will conduct community analysis, develop training materials, and promote the widespread adoption of these tools to democratize hydrological research and education, facilitate data-driven decision-making, and advance water resources management. The project period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.
