The ByWater Institute serves as the Tulane University representative in the Gluf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (GC-CESU). The GC-CESU facilitates collaborative research, education and technical assistance pertaining to the human and natural environment, within and beyond the region, among federal and state agencies, universities and non-governmental organizations. As the representative for Tulane, we receive and disseminate special federal funding opportunities for university researches to work in cooperation with federal agencies.
For assistance with proposal preparation related to any of these opportunities, please contact us. Institute staff can assist with interdisciplinary team building and administrative proposal preparation activities.
Proposal Submission
The ByWater Institute assists researchers with preparation and submission of proposals to extramural funders. The goal of this service is to help facilitate the work of interdisciplinary teams.

Our faculty can support team building across disciplines and provide advice on conducting interdisciplinary research and scholarship.
