The Arsenic Research Partnership is a consortium including AWWA Research Foundation, the Association of California Water Agencies, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. The proposed agenda will be presented to the Arsenic Research Partnership this month. Because the money to fund all the listed projects exceeds the 2000 project budget, the partnership will prioritize and fund only a portion of the submitted projects. The proposed project titles are listed below. Prospective researchers often contact utility volunteers requesting involvement of their utility in research proposals.
Utilities provide data and technical input to projects.
Project advisory committee members help to develop RFPs, select contractors, and provide technical oversight for research projects, ensuring the project results are both scientifically valid and practical.
