CSREES Competitive Grant Watershed Studies
About the Studies
The CSREES Competitive Grant Watershed Studies are evaluating the effects
of watershed conservation practices on water quality, with a focus on
understanding how the suite of conservation practices, the timing of
these activities, and the spatial distribution of these practices
throughout a watershed influence their effectiveness. These studies
include two additional components that 1) evaluate social and economic
factors influencing implementation and maintenance of practices and
2) conduct outreach education to transfer knowledge from this research
to farmers, ranchers, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
2007 CSREES-NRCS Competitive Grants for CEAP Synthesis Announced
Two grants have been awarded to complete a synthesis of the 13 watershed projects previously
funded through the CEAP competitive grants program. The goal of this synthesis is to build a
knowledge base that can be used to evaluate impacts of conservation practices and programs on
water resources, improve the management of agricultural landscapes to achieve environmental
goals, and inform policy decisions. This is a joint effort between CSREES and NRCS.
The Current Research Information System (CRIS) is USDA's documentation and
reporting system for ongoing and recently completed research and education
projects.
