Students will work collaboratively with research teams and their partners to design communication tools to increase understanding of research outcomes and to develop a knowledge base to expand awareness of future water resources challenges from climate change and human activities. Research themes considered in this proposal include: 1) traditional water knowledge, 2) winter water budgets, 3) surface water features, 4) groundwater pathways, and 5) land-sea connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Roles and Responsibilities<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application process will select three to four water resources research projects where development of knowledge transfer tools can substantially benefit community partners. Each selected project will involve a student intern and a mentor with expertise related to at least one of the project themes. Teams will participate in coordinated activities such as information exchange, development of research and communication strategies, coordination of partner engagement and feedback, and development, refinement and rollout of science communication products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Available Funding<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faculty can request up to $4,000, including funding for interns at pay rates commensurate with 91±¬ΑΟ&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/studemp\/95132-2-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Student Special Project Assistant III<\/a>\u00a0(Step 3) for undergraduate students; or, 91±¬ΑΟ&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/studemp\/95160-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Graduate Student Assistant II<\/a>\u00a0(Step 10) for graduate students, and a maximum of $500 for faculty summer salary.
