Opportunity Information: Apply for G17AS00066
The FY18 National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center Program (Funding Opportunity Number G17AS00066) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen the nation`s capacity to understand and respond to climate change impacts on natural resources. The program focuses on producing actionable science and technical support related to how climate change affects fish, wildlife, plants, and broader ecological processes, with an emphasis on making sure research outputs align with real management and policy needs identified by Federal and State agencies.
A central goal of this opportunity is to improve national coordination of climate-related research and modeling carried out through regional centers. By coordinating these efforts, the program aims to ensure consistency and comparability across regions, particularly in the use of downscaling approaches and forecasting models. This standardization is meant to create more uniform and reliable information products that resource managers can use when making decisions about conservation, habitat management, species protection, and adaptation planning. The opportunity also highlights the importance of strengthening regional collaborations and partnerships, recognizing that climate impacts and management responses often cross jurisdictional boundaries.
The work supported through this program is closely tied to the Climate Science Centers (CSCs), which are intended to connect agencies and decision-makers with scientific expertise, including expertise housed at cooperating universities. In practice, this means projects are expected to leverage academic and applied research capacity to deliver tools, analyses, or synthesized science that can directly support management of fish and wildlife resources under changing climate conditions, while also advancing the broader mission of the Climate Science Center Program.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared responsibilities), rather than a simple pass-through grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $4,500,000 and anticipates making 2 awards, indicating support for a small number of relatively large efforts rather than many smaller projects. The CFDA number associated with this program is 15.820, and the original closing date for submissions was 2017-09-07 (with the opportunity created on 2017-06-19).
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, local governments, tribal entities, non-profit organizations, and academic institutions. However, there is a key restriction: USGS entities may not apply and may not be formal partners on proposals. Federal agencies are allowed to participate in carrying out project work, but they are not intended to receive funds through this federal financial assistance mechanism; instead, any funding flows to federal partners would occur through other appropriate methods, not through the cooperative agreement that hosts the award.Apply for G17AS00066
