2007 Supplemental PSP
The CALFED Science Program is making a small amount of supplemental funds available on a competitive basis to provide an opportunity for some of the 20+ existing Science Program Grantees to enhance their funded research while we work on issuing a full PSP in 2008.
The CALFED Science Program considers funding scientific research to be a critical component in achieving its mission of establishing unbiased and authoritative knowledge directly relevant to CALFED actions. The goal of funding this research is to invest in knowledge that will fundamentally advance the understanding of the complex environments/systems within the CALFED jurisdiction to aid policy-makers and managers.
2007 Supplemental PSP Additional Information
Review and Selection
All grant supplements will be reviewed by a panel composed of Science Program staff and independent scientists. Supplements will be compared to each other and selected for funding based on their technical merit and relevancy to the CALFED program. Supplemental proposals will be ranked for funding in relation to their value added benefits and their cost. There is no guarantee that any grant supplements will be funded.
Award Information
- Anticipated Type of Award: Grant Supplement
- Maximum Funding per Grant: $300,000
- Length of Funding: Up to 2 years
Eligibility Information
Principle Investigators whose proposals were selected for funding from either the 2004 or 2006 CALFED Science Program PSPs are eligible to receive funds to Supplemental their existing proposals. The Primary applicant for funds must be the existing PI and institution on the grant that is being supplemented (Co PI's and subcontractors may not be the primary applicant for this supplemental funding).
Priorities of this Grant Supplement
All previously selected proposals from the 2004 and 2006 PSPs address topics of potential priority for this Grant Supplement. Proposal supplements that clearly illustrate a need for immediate funding, before the next PSP cycle, and exhibit high value added for the funds requested in relation to objectives of the proposal funded in 2004 or 2006 will be viewed more favorably than others.
