Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, Sr. Research Grant.

Existing law establishes various grant programs relating to education, including, but not limited to, the Education Technology Grant Act of 2002 and the Child Development Teacher and Supervisor Grant Program. Under existing law, the Department of Water Resources operates the State Water Project and exercises other functions relating to the state's water resources. This bill would require the Department of Water Resources to create and administer the "Edmund G. 'Pat' Brown, Sr., Research Grant" to provide a one-year grant to support research that would examine ways to expand California's water portfolio. The bill would specify that only California State University campuses and University of California campuses are eligible for this grant. The bill would appropriate $145,000 from the General Fund to the department for this purpose.
