Funding, News and Announcements

The Hudson River Foundation seeks to elucidate the dynamic interactions among the physical, chemical, and biological processes that are important to the Hudson River ecosystem. In particular, the Foundation encourages research in areas that are both scientifically important and relevant to present or anticipated public policy issues affecting the River. Recognizing that both basic and applied research are fundamental to the management of Hudson River resources, the Foundation places special emphasis on research that has clearly articulated significance for identified policy issues and is conducted in the context of other ongoing research and monitoring in the River.

A call for grant proposals for 2015 has recently been launched. The Foundation is interested in receiving pre-proposals by the deadline date below, on the topics of “Shorelines: Human Use, Resiliency and Habitat Improvement” and “Ecosystem Valuation”. The full call can be found at: http://www.hudsonriver.org/download/2015_HRFund_RFP.pdf

Any Dalhousie faculty member interested in this opportunity is asked to contact Jennifer Morawiecki (jennifer.morawiecki@dal.ca) in International Research & Development for more information and support in develoing an application.

Deadline: Thursday, November 6, 2014
