The US Geological Survey’s National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center is offering this grant to develop science-based climate-smart conservation approaches. This funding opportunity aims to facilitate collaboration on incorporating science-based methods into climate change adaptation planning and implementation. Specifically, this grant is for defining “climate-smart conservation” and establishing science-based criteria for evaluating adaptation projects. It also seeks to develop robust science-based approaches for planning, designing, and implementing adaptation strategies, while enhancing understanding of natural resource climate vulnerability. Furthermore, the initiative will create science-based decision processes to guide the integration of climate-smart conservation into existing agency and organizational management frameworks. The objective is to ensure effective and sustainable conservation efforts in a changing climate.
