GENERAL
7-1 Water Sustainability and Climate
(WSC) (NSF)
One of the most urgent challenges facing
the world today is ensuring an adequate
supply and quality of water in light of both
burgeoning human needs and climate variability and change. Despite its importance
to life on Earth, there are major gaps in our
basic understanding of water availability,
quantity and dynamics, and the impact of
both a changing and variable climate, and
human activity, on the water system. The
goal of the Water Sustainability and Climate (WSC) solicitation is to understand
and predict the interactions between the
water system and climate change, land use,
the built environment, and ecosystem
function and services through place-based
research and integrative models. An individual may appear as Principal Investigator (PI), co-PI, other senior personnel or
investigator on only one category 2 or category 3 or category 1 proposal. NSF 10524 (GG 1/18/10)

related to the Nation’s biomedical,
behavioral and clinical research agenda.
The primary objective of the T32 program is to prepare qualified individuals
for careers that have a significant impact
on the health-related research needs of
the Nation. PA-10-036 (NIHG 11/27/09)

School Teachers and Community
College Faculty (NEH)
The Landmarks of American History and
Culture program supports series of oneweek residence-based workshops for a

American history and culture; provide
teachers with expertise in the use and
interpretation of historical sites and of
material and archival resources; and
encourage historical and cultural sites to
develop greater capacity and scale for
professional development programs.
