About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation is offering the Desalination and Water Purification Research Program: Pitch to Pilot FY 2024 grant opportunity. This program seeks innovative, cost-effective, and technologically efficient pilot-scale technologies or processes to reduce the costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, tribal organizations, institutions of higher education, nonprofits, individuals, and for-profit organizations. Applications will be evaluated in two phases - a technical proposal submission (Phase I) and a virtual pitch presentation (Phase II) for selected applicants. The application deadline for Phase I is July 24, 2024.
Approximately $1.5 million is available, with 5-6 awards of up to $300,000 each anticipated. The program is funded under the SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements (CFDA 15.560) program, with the goal of conserving water resources, increasing efficiency of water use, and enhancing water management, including increasing the use of renewable energy.
Synopsis
The United States Department of the Interior (Department), Bureau of Reclamation's (Reclamation) Desalination and Water Purification Research Program (DWPR) works with Reclamation researchers and partners to develop innovative, cost-effective, and technologically efficient ways to desalinate and treat water. DWPR funding plays a critical role in iterating an idea from the lab to a real-world demonstration, yielding products that serve the water treatment community and attract commercialization interest. Reclamation is interested in research where the benefits are widespread but where private-sector entities are not able to make the full investment and assume all the risks. Reclamation is also interested in research that has a national significance-where the issues are of large-scale concern and the benefits accrue to a large sector of the public. The goal of the DWPR program is to address the need to reduce the costs, energy requirements, and environmental impacts of treating impaired and unusable water. The program also aligns with Executive Order 14008, "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad," by investing in development and application of advanced water treatment technologies that expand access to otherwise unusable water resources, thereby increasing water supply flexibility under the risks of long-term climate change and shorter-term drought.
