The 2025 Water Prediction Innovators Summer Institute is officially underway — and it's a milestone year, marking the 10th anniversary of this impactful program!
Developed by Stroud Water Research Center in collaboration with CUAHSI and other partners, the WikiWatershed suite of tools empowers water resource managers, scientists, educators, and students to explore how watersheds respond to environmental change, conservation efforts, and human impacts.
CUAHSI had the opportunity to reconnect with past WaterSoftHack fellows to reflect on their experiences, the unique training techniques they gained, and how they have since applied these methodologies in practice.

Navigating Academic Waters: Expanding Funding Landscape: Non-Federal Funding Opportunities
Securing funding remains a critical challenge in academia. As traditional federal sources become increasingly competitive or constrained, diversifying funding streams is becoming more important in hydrology and environmental science. This seminar will focus on identifying and navigating non-federal funding opportunities from a broad range of funding bodies, including nonprofit organizations, state, and local agencies. Through expert presentations and interactive discussion, participants will explore strategies for finding relevant grant opportunities, developing competitive proposals, and aligning our project goals with funder missions.
