25 percent of the total cost of water recycling and reuse research studies.
The objective of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite research sponsors to request cost-shared funding to address water supply challenges by establishing or expanding water reuse markets, improving existing water reuse facilities, and streamlining the implementation of state of the art technology for new facilities.
For the purposes of this FOA, state of the art is defined as the latest and most advanced technologies or processes currently available in the industry for deployment and implementation.
State of the art technology does not include innovative technologies or processes that are currently under development through pilot or demonstration research efforts.
