The North Dakota Water Resources Research Institute has announced the Graduate Research Fellowship recipients for 2016-17. Fellowships ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 were awarded to 15 graduate students, including five doctoral and 10 master's degree students, who are conducting research in water resources topics at NDSU and the University of North Dakota.
A panel of state water resource professionals reviewed the applications and selected the fellows and award amounts. The general criteria used for proposal evaluation include qualifications of the students, scientific merit, originality of research, research related to state and/or region, and extent of regional, state or local collaboration and/or co-funding. The proposals were prepared by the students with the guidance of their advisers.
