Future Directions Program

The Future Directions Program seeks to anticipate strategic and operational level requirements for USACE Civil Works and strategic, operational and tactical level requirements for IWR. Using integrated teams, this program will identify initiatives that conceptualize water resources policies and needs for the purpose of informing and assisting in prioritization of activities by senior leadership. Working with the IWR Director and Management Team, Future Direction activities will also evaluate systemic IWR activities to identify opportunities that improve the efficiency and quality of IWR products and programs. To assist with this effort, IWR, through the National Institutes for Water Resources (NIWR) and the US Geological Survey (USGS), has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to the Nation’s Water Resources Institutes.
