CWI’s Faculty Fellowship program fosters collaboration across disciplines, encouraging fellows to brainstorm innovative solutions for some of the most pressing water issues in the San Joaquin Valley. The program targets interests in water-related research, including climate change and sustainability, agriculture and precision technology, policy and economic impacts, and social equity and inclusion.
Fellows are tasked with pursuing a research topic that will result in either a research proposal to be used by CWI to search for grant proposals or to write or submit a grant proposal and apply for funding.
