Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR DO 19 F001
The Desalination and Water Purification Research Program for Fiscal Year 2019 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, offered under Funding Opportunity Number BOR DO 19 F001 (CFDA 15.506). The program is framed as a research and development effort in science and technology, with the main purpose of moving desalination and water purification technologies forward through cost-shared projects. In practical terms, the Bureau of Reclamation is looking for proposals from organizations that can help test, validate, and improve processes or components that support the program's broader desalination and water purification goals.
Awards are offered as cooperative agreements, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a standard grant. The announcement anticipates making about 15 awards, with a maximum (award ceiling) of $400,000 per award. Applications were originally due December 13, 2018, and the opportunity was created on September 12, 2018. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other organizations as allowed under the announcement's additional eligibility language, which is intended to include entities such as private industry and water utilities mentioned in the description.
The FOA is organized around two main funding groups that reflect the maturity level and scale of the technology being investigated. Funding Group I focuses on laboratory-scale projects, typically bench-scale studies operating at small flow rates of less than 2 gallons per minute. This category is meant for earlier-stage research where the goal is to determine whether a novel process, new material, or a modification to an existing process is viable at all. Because these are early proof-of-concept style efforts, the FOA notes that projects at this stage often involve higher risk and uncertainty, which is typical when testing new concepts before committing to larger demonstrations.
Funding Group II supports pilot-scale projects, which are designed to test a novel process at a large enough scale to evaluate not just whether it works, but whether it is technically feasible, practical to operate, and economically viable. These projects are generally expected to be built on prior laboratory results, either funded previously by the DWPR program or by other sources, that already indicate the technology functions as intended. In other words, Group II is meant to bridge the gap between lab success and real-world deployment by producing the kind of performance, operability, and cost information decision-makers need before adopting the technology more broadly.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at accelerating desalination and water purification innovation by sharing costs with applicants and supporting a pipeline from high-risk lab validation (Group I) to more realistic, decision-ready pilot demonstrations (Group II), with participation encouraged from universities, industry partners, water utilities, and other research sponsors capable of advancing the field.Apply for BOR DO 19 F001
