The Delta Stewardship Council’s Delta Science Program and California Sea Grant have announced eight recipients of the 2025 Delta Research Awards, providing nearly $6 million to study critical challenges facing California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta). The Delta Research Awards support projects that combine innovative science with community engagement to address pressing environmental and social needs. The projects, selected following a competitive peer review process, address priorities identified in the 2022-2026 Science Action Agenda.
The research initiatives range from advancing our understanding of endangered sturgeon migration to interweaving Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) with predominant science and management to improve environmental stewardship. The awards are funded by the Delta Stewardship Council and administered in partnership with California Sea Grant. These projects begin in mid-2025 and will run for up to three years. Furthermore, the State Water Contractors will provide funding for two additional, highly ranked projects identified through the Delta Research Awards solicitation.
