The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for hydrologic research in the Dakotas and Missouri River basin. This funding opportunity is to participate in a variety of hydrologic issues including the water availability and quality of groundwater and surface water and the effects on associated aquifers, watersheds, and reservoirs. A range of challenges face water resource managers in the Dakotas including energy development, drought, floods, climate variability, land-use and climatic changes, water contamination, and surface water dynamics. The Dakota Water Science Center (DWSC) engages in basin-wide (Missouri), regional, and national-scale research related to water chemistry, surface water and groundwater hydrology, as well as the variables that influence the hydrology of our nation including climate variability and land use changes. Climate variability has prompted changes in agricultural practices, such as tile drainage of fields and has been shown to change the river dynamics, resulting in increased runoff, which in turn changes some water-quality characteristic like sediment load as well as streamflow statistics (both base flow and peak discharges). Tribal Nations have experienced losses of valuable lands along reservoirs due to extreme erosion. In response to these hydrologic events, a range of research projects in association with Federal, State, local, and Tribal partners will characterize the physical effects of external stresses on groundwater and surface water systems and associated ecosystems. Lastly, this research will advance understanding of how to apply scientific understanding to decision making processes under conditions of great uncertainty.

The Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) Element Cooperative Agreement Program.LTRM is the monitoring and research element of the UMRR Program. Overall guidance, funding, and UMRR program responsibility is provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides the scientific leadership for LTRM and the long term monitoring and research within LTRM is implemented in collaboration with the five Upper Mississippi River System states (Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin). A directive outlining the mode of operation and the respective roles of each agency is embodied in a 1988 Memorandum of Agreement. The authority to enter into a cooperative agreement is stipulated in the Water Resources Development Act of 1986. Congress recognized the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) as both a nationally significant ecosystem and a nationally significant commercial navigation system. The Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) is the USGS facility which administers the LTRM element of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Upper Mississippi River Restoration program (UMRR). Five Upper Mississippi River System states which house six state-operated field stations provide data collection for water quality, sediment, fish, vegetation, and invertebrates, and land cover/use, and participate in numerous research projects based on these data. This work directly addresses the Secretarial Priority of working to restore and conserve at least 30% of our lands and waters by 2030.\This program announcement, with its support of UMRR, contributes to science that will enhance and inform the implementation of the Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Project element (HREP) of the UMRR. The UMRR HREP element provides substantial economic benefit to local and regional economies bordering the Mississippi River by increasing consumptive and nonconsumptive recreational opportunities. Research and information developed through this agreement will inform HREP planning, thereby indirectly supporting the Secretarial Priority of Advancing President Bidens Investing in America agenda by providing the sound science on which local and regional managers depend.

With this solicitation, BJS seeks to provide additional funding to conduct additional development and methodological work in support of the statistical procedures used to generate national estimates of crime based on the FBIs NIBRS. The first set of national estimates based on this new methodology was released in September 2022, marking the first time that NIBRS data will be the sole source of information on crimes known to law enforcement in the United States. This development and methods work will consist of system maintenance activities, additional estimation development, and assessment of data on indicators not included in the Year One estimates.
