Mohammed Dore has held a number of externally funded research grants, including one from the US National Science Foundation. In 2000, he was one of several researchers who were co-applicants for the formation of a Network Centre of Excellence in all aspects of water research, which led to the formation of the .Canadian Water Network,. a Network Centre of Excellence (see www.cwn-rce.net). Mohammed became the Theme Leader for the Water Infrastructure theme, and was re-appointed to a second term. As the Theme Leader within CWN, Mohammed worked on and spearheaded the formation of a separate Strategic Network in the research of the problems of small water systems. In October 2008, this led to a successful Strategic Network Grant funded by NSERC, called RES.EAU-WATERNET (see www.reseau-waternet.ca). In April 2009, as Principal Investigator, Mohammed Dore received a SSHRC grant covering social science aspects of management of small water systems. He also holds a research grant from the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences and runs the Climate Change Lab at Brock University. He has published two books, one of which also appeared in Japanese. He has edited four other books, and has published a number of articles in refereed journals. He is on the editorial boards of three refereed journals.
