Hydroinformatics Innovation Fellowship Application Deadline: September 30th
The program enables scientists to create a hydroinformatics product to be disseminated to the CUAHSI community. CUAHSI is pleased to offer the Hydroinformatics Innovation Fellowship to support projects that will result in a hydroinformatics product to be disseminated to the CUAHSI community within one year of funding. Awardees will receive up to $5,000 for eligible expenses including: travel costs associated with acquiring new skills, site or reverse site visits, software or data licenses, access to cyberinfrastructure, dissemination costs, and student support. Example products include software, including apps which can be integrated into CUAHSI's Water Data Services<https://www.cuahsi.org/data-models>; new data products of interest to the community, including data-rescue products; technical publications; or STEM curriculum. An example of a useful app might be a product which can operate on CUAHSI's Hydrologic Information System<http://data.cuahsi.org/> or HydroShare<https://www.hydroshare.org/> data resources to produce some outcome useful to the community. Successful proposals will likely have more than one identified outcome. Priority will be given to proposals that focus on leveraging or extending CUAHSI's Water Data Services<https://www.cuahsi.org/data-models> or other open source and open data resources. Eligibility: Graduate students, post docs, early career faculty, and scientists enrolled in or currently employed by a U.S. university are eligible to receive a Hydroinformatics Innovations Fellowship. Preference will be given to graduate students, post docs, and early career faculty. Applications must be submitted by September 30th.

CUAHSI Virtual University is composed of inter-university online courses aimed to enhance the depth and breadth of graduate course offerings at universities across the nation, increase the rate of uptake of new research and facilitate networking among our hydrologic community. The format of the course is designed to give students flexibility to select the three topics most relevant to them from a list of Specialized Online Hydrology Course modules. Modules are offered by leading faculty in these specialized research niches from across the country. Each module, which is equivalent to one-third of a semester course, is designed to facilitate interaction among the instructor and students and contain some evaluation elements (problem sets, projects, presentations, exams etc.). The instructor at each student's home university will assign a grade based on the student scores and class distribution provided by the module instructor. The course will run from September through November with each module being conducted for 4 weeks. Eligibility: Faculty currently employed by a U.S. university are eligible to participate in the Virtual University. Requirements: * Be a faculty member of a graduate program relevant to the hydrologic sciences * Receive university consent to participate in the CUAHSI Virtual University * Be available to teach an online module synchronously for four consecutive weeks (September, October, or November), twice a week for 90 min (M/W or T/Th) or three times per week for 60 minutes (M/W/F). * Hold office hours for students both at the home institution and virtually * Participate in monthly preparation conference calls Applications must be submitted by November 1st, 2018 to participate in the Fall 2019 CUAHSI Virtual University.
