Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR LC 19 N017
This grant opportunity is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation notice indicating an intent to make a single discretionary award to the University of Colorado through a cooperative agreement. The activity falls under the environment funding category (CFDA 15.560) and is framed as a continuation and expansion of specialized research supporting complex water resources planning, with a clear emphasis on advanced modeling and decision-support methods used by Reclamation for Colorado River system analysis.
The core purpose of the project is to advance and apply a robust planning framework for water resources decision-making, building directly on prior Reclamation-supported work completed in late 2018. That earlier effort served as a pilot for the optimization component of a broader robust approach, and this proposed work is positioned as the next step in that research path. In practical terms, the project is meant to refine and extend analytical methods that help planners test strategies across uncertainty, using sophisticated simulation and optimization tools that are already central to Reclamation planning workflows.
A major justification for the sole intent to award is the unique qualifications of the proposed principal investigators, based on both their technical expertise and their location. On the technical side, the notice highlights that Dr. Zagona was the original developer of the RiverWare software, which underpins Reclamations Colorado River Simulation System (CRSS) model, and has remained deeply involved in its development and planning applications for roughly two decades. It also emphasizes Dr. Kasprzyks decade-long development of the robust planning process that forms the backbone of the proposed work, including his leadership on the earlier Reclamation-funded research that tested optimization within that framework. Together, their backgrounds are presented as unusually well-matched to the specific modeling platform, planning context, and methodological direction Reclamation wants to pursue.
Location is presented as the second critical factor. The investigators proximity to Reclamation staff at the Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES) is described as essential because the research will be heavily supported by Reclamation employees there. The notice underscores that frequent, easy interaction among students, the investigators, and CADSWES staff is considered important to the studys success, suggesting an ongoing, collaborative development and application process rather than a hands-off research grant.
Administratively, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR LC 19 N017) was created June 20, 2019, with an original closing date of July 4, 2019.
