Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR DO 19 F009
WaterSMART: Water Reclamation and Reuse Research under the Title XVI Program for Fiscal Year 2019 is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on tackling water supply challenges through practical, deployable water reuse solutions. The program is designed to support cost-shared research efforts under Reclamation's Title XVI authorities, with an emphasis on work that can directly help communities and water managers increase available water supplies by reclaiming and reusing water that would otherwise be discharged or underutilized.
The core purpose of the announcement is to invite research sponsors to propose Title XVI research activities that either establish new water reclamation and reuse practices, expand existing reuse programs, improve the performance and reliability of existing water reuse facilities, or make it easier and faster to implement modern, proven technology in new facilities. In other words, the opportunity is aimed at applied research that strengthens real-world water reuse implementation, helping reduce pressure on limited freshwater sources and improving resilience in the face of drought, growth, and other supply constraints.
A key feature of this funding opportunity is its specific definition of "state of the art" technology. For this FOA, "state of the art" means the most current and advanced technologies or processes that are already available commercially and are ready to be deployed and implemented in the industry. The announcement draws a clear line between deployable, industry-ready solutions and earlier-stage innovation: it explicitly excludes technologies or processes that are still experimental, not commercially available, or primarily being tested through pilot or demonstration efforts. This makes the opportunity especially relevant for research that helps communities adopt proven advanced treatment processes, optimize operations, improve integration and implementation, and reduce barriers to rolling out established modern approaches.
Funding is offered through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, reflecting that selected projects may involve varying degrees of collaboration or involvement by the Bureau of Reclamation depending on the project and award structure. The program is categorized under Natural Resources and is listed under CFDA 15.504. The eligibility information provided in the source data indicates that individuals are eligible applicants under this opportunity, which is somewhat unusual compared with many federal water infrastructure programs that typically focus on public agencies or organizations; applicants would still be expected to align their proposal with the program's Title XVI research intent and the cost-sharing expectations implied by the announcement.
For Fiscal Year 2019, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR DO 19 F009) was created on June 27, 2019, with an original closing date of September 23, 2019. The maximum award amount listed is $750,000 per award (the award ceiling), and the Bureau of Reclamation anticipated making about eight awards. Overall, the opportunity signals a targeted federal push to accelerate practical water reuse progress by funding research that improves how commercially available advanced reuse technologies are implemented, scaled, and optimized to expand usable water supplies.Apply for BOR DO 19 F009
