Awards
Olen Paul Matthews and Kathleen A. Dwyer Fund for Water Resources

This award recognizes human or physical geography research projects that influence water policy or decision-making. Specifically, this includes work that addresses critical challenges and barriers to successful implementation of water policy research at a local, regional, national or international level.

The awardee agrees to submit a 3- to 5-page report (references do not count towards page limit) summarizing the funded project, including a budget narrative. They also must show activity supported by the award within one year of award receipt.

Applicants must be current members of AAG and membership in the Water Resources Specialty Group is strongly encouraged. PhD students, post-doctoral, faculty and university researchers, and practitioners working at non-governmental organizations or government agencies are eligible to submit.
