Project Proposals for the CoE

RFP Description

The vision of the New York State Center of Excellence in Healthy Water Solutions at Clarkson University and SUNY ESF (CoE) is to ensure a healthy and sustainable future through the protection and conservation of water resources.

Our mission is to generate solutions that help protect and improve waters for sustainable natural environments, healthy populations, resilient communities and sound economies.

A key requirement for the CoE is to demonstrate an ability to support economic development in New York State. All project proposals must include a component of economic development. Focus of projects could include answering critical water science questions while boosting employment, workforce training, enhanced recreational opportunities, or developing new technologies that can be commercialized.

Through this Request for Proposals (hereinafter referred to as “RFP”) process and funding, Clarkson and ESF faculty, staff, and students seek to strengthen existing partnerships and forge new collaborations with private industry, consultants/engineers, water districts, K-12 schools, colleges and universities, government agencies, policy-makers, and local stakeholders.

To meet these goals, the CoE is seeking concise proposals from Clarkson and ESF faculty for funding in the categories outlined in this Request for Proposals.
