Water is a vital necessity for human development, the environment and the economy. Because of its global importance, the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI), and the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum have partnered to foster cooperation between students and scientists from both the countries.
The Water Advanced Research and Innovation (WARI) Fellowship Program is a dynamic and transformative program for students and early-career faculty pursuing advanced academic research and/or other water-related careers.
Students and faculty at colleges in the United States who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and are enrolled in master’s or graduate level or working as a faculty in a water-related program are invited to apply. Applicants should be conducting research that is clearly aligned with the WARI’s research categories of Environmental and chemical sciences; Hydrology; Water pollution; Water resources management including ecological water management; Water/wastewater quality, management, and reuse; Chemical and microbial risk research including water remediation; Sustainable water infrastructure; Modeling water systems; Water research linked to climate change and sustainability including remote-sensing applications; Water and energy nexus; Nutrient recovery and management; Health and water research including climate impacts; Water-relevant research in earth sciences and atmospheric sciences; Applications of data sciences, AI, and machine learning to water research; and Economics and policy relevance in water sciences.
