1. Training Opportunity- Office of Water Programs- Sacramento State University
The Office of Water Programs at Sacramento State University's mission is to provide cost-effective solutions for protecting and enhancing water resources, public health, and the environment through training, scientific research, and public education.
Operator Training
Our operator training group develops and implements programs and publishes training materials for operators of water treatment plants, water distribution systems, wastewater collection systems, and municipal and industrial wastewater treatment and reclamation facilities. We also offer programs and publications for pretreatment facility inspectors, environmental compliance inspectors, and utility managers. All training is offered as distance learning, using correspondence, video, or computer-based formats with opportunities to earn continuing education and contact hours for operators, supervisors, managers, and administrators.
Research
Research group engineers and scientists perform and manage research efforts focused on characterizing water quality issues, including developing and testing methods to improve water quality. Our researchers provide technical advice on water policy issues, assist in watershed planning, and perform modeling, data analysis, and cost assessments to help both the public and private sectors make informed decisions based on accurate information and good science.

2. Webinar Opportunity- Topical Workshop: Advancing 30x30 and Protecting Biodiversity- July 27, 2021- 3PM
Today the Biodiversity Advisory Panel released its summary document: Advancing 30x30 and Protecting Biodiversity. The report can be found by clicking the read more button below.
The Biodiversity Panel collaborated to explore opportunities for the state to protect and maintain its unique biodiversity through conservation of lands and coastal waters and developed recommendations to inform the State’s commitment to conserve 30 percent of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030 (30x30).
The Advisory Panel includes specialists from academic institutions and practitioners from across marine, terrestrial, and freshwater systems, with specialties spanning from population genetics to ecosystem processes to indigenous stewardship of land. Panelist bios can be found here along with the questions that the panelists were asked to address — click on the Biodiversity Topical Workshop header to see both. The public is also being asked to consider how they would address these questions.
Please join us on July 27 for a virtual topical workshop that will feature a presentation from the Advisory Panel, as well as an opportunity to provide input on how California Natural Resources Agency and its partners can deliver on the state’s goal to conserve biodiversity.

3. Funding Opportunity- Informational Webinars & FAQs for the FY 2022 Coping with Drought Competitions
Since 2007, the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) has funded more than 60 innovative drought research projects through the Coping with Drought research competition. Research through the Coping with Drought competition assesses impacts of drought on agriculture, ecosystems, and water resources and develops decision support tools for regional, state, and local use. This research contributes to the understanding of how communities become aware of drought threats and how they can improve preparation and planning. The projects incorporate consultation with stakeholders, and focus on information that is most useful for decision-making to reduce vulnerability; models and tools that bring this information to decision makers; and strategies for improving NIDIS’ engagement with communities in preparedness.
FY 2022 Coping With Drought: Ecological Drought
Letter of Intent Deadline: August 9, 2021 (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time)
Full Proposal Deadline: October 18, 2021(5:00 p.m. Eastern Time)
This competition will focus on research to improve our understanding, early warning, and management of drought risk in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems to inform more deliberate and expanded decision-making that supports sustainable, healthy, and resilient ecosystems.
Pending the availability of funds in FY 2022, NIDIS anticipates a funding allocation of up to $2.0 million. Proposals may request funding of up to $600,000 to be expended over two years in the form of Cooperative Agreements. A total of 6–7 projects may be funded.
FY 2022 Coping With Drought: Building Tribal Resilience
Letter of Intent Deadline: August 9, 2021 (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time)
Full Proposal Deadline: October 18, 2021(5:00 p.m. Eastern Time)
Applications should be developed by or in full partnership with tribal nations to fund the implementation of actions—together with research on those actions—to build drought resilience contained in existing plans and strategies.
Plans may include, but are not limited to, drought contingency plans; drought, water, or natural resource plans; agricultural resource management plans; or climate adaptation plans.
Pending the availability of funds in FY 2022, NIDIS anticipates a funding allocation of approximately $1.5 million. Proposals may request funding of up to $500,000 to be expended over two years in the form of Cooperative Agreements. A total of 6–7 projects may be funded.
