This is a water-resources coordination award with no real research ceiling and no obvious social-behavioral, risk-communication, or policy-evaluation component. Nina Carlson’s water-reuse/stormwater work is the closest topical overlap, but this opportunity is not in the team’s core research line and appears administrative rather than PI-level research.
