CUAHSI's Hydroinformatics Innovation Fellowship program enables scientists to create and share a hydroinformatics product with the CUAHSI community.
CUAHSI's Hydroinformatics Innovation Fellowship supports projects that result in a hydroinformatics product that can be shared with the CUAHSI community within one year of funding. Scientists at U.S. universities and colleges are eligible for this grant. Preference will be given to early career faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
Applicants have the option to pursue one of two funding tracks in the amounts of $3500 and $8000, respectively. Eligible expenses for awardees will include: travel costs associated with aquiring new skills, site or reverse site visits, software or data licenses, access to cyberinfrastructure, dissemination costs, and student support. Awardees will be expected to comply with CUAHSI's travel and related expenditure policies and will be required to submit afinal report in addition to an itemized statement of costs.
Example products include:
- software, including apps which can be integrated into CUAHSI's Water Data Services;
- new data products of interest to the community, including data-rescue products;
- technical publications; or STEM curriculum.
- An example of a useful app might be a product which can operate on CUAHSI's Hydrologic Information System or HydroShare data resources to produce some outcome useful to the community.
Successfull proposals will likely have more than one identified outcome. Priority will be given to proposals that focus on leveraging or extending CUAHSI's Water Data Services or other open source and open data resources.
