USGS Water Resources
Research Institutes Program -- IWW is one of 54 state- or territory-based,
water resources research institutes in the country. The centers were
established by the 1964 federal Water Resources Research Act in order
to address water research and education priorities in each state.
The IWW receives federal matching funds to support water resources
research and education activities in the Oregon and awards
small grants through this program.
The water resources institutes in each state have formed an association called the National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR). Click on the logo to the right for more information about NIWR and links to institutes in other states.
The Cooperative Forest Ecosystem Research program - CFER was developed to facilitate sound management of forest ecosystems, with emphasis on meeting priority research information needs of the BLM and ODF in western Oregon.
Institute for Natural Resources - INR provides Oregon leaders with ready access to current, science-based information and methods for better understanding our resources management challenges and developing solutions.
