Methods: • Compile NIFA Water Portfolio (formula and non- formula grants) • Geospatial mapping • Project Director Survey • Regional and National Project Director Interviews • State-level focus groups • Case studies • Identify science priorities within the Water Portfolio to address future funding priorities • Deliver results (NIFA staff, national meetings, land grant university Extension and Experiment Station Directors) This work is funded by USDA-NIFA Grant #2014-51130-22496 A Synthesis of the NIFA Water Portfolio (2000-2013): Lessons Learned and Future Directions Michael P. O’Neill, University of Connecticut Linda Stalker Prokopy, Purdue University Objectives: • Determine lessons learned, critical findings, and outcomes of water projects • Evaluate effectiveness of different scaled approaches to promote solutions • Demonstrate examples of synergies and failed synergies among projects and how these synergies improved leveraging • Identify water quality/quantity issues where future NIFA funding should focus Number of projects Total Projects 2000-2013 Total Dollars 2000-2013 Our Team: Laura Esman, Purdue University Art Gold, URI Sarah Church, Purdue University Kelly Addy, URI Emily Wilson, UConn Final survey emailed to Project Directors for completion (54% response rate)

A Synthesis of the NIFA Water Portfolio (2000-2013): Lessons Learned and Future Directions
Michael P. O’Neill, University of ConnecticutLinda Stalker Prokopy, Purdue University
Objectives:• Determine lessons learned, critical findings, and
outcomes of water projects• Evaluate effectiveness of different scaled
approaches to promote solutions • Demonstrate examples of synergies and failed
synergies among projects and how these synergies improved leveraging
• Identify water quality/quantity issues where future NIFA funding should focus
