This department is offering a grant to conduct a national synthesis of the state of the science of transformational drought and regional case studies. With the aim of identifying common themes, key research questions, and applications to natural resource management, this funding opportunity seeks to address the impacts of warming climate on ecosystems and local communities. The research will assist in providing necessary products for decision-making by managers facing the challenges posed by transformational drought. Applications must be submitted by April 27, 2020, 12:00:00 AM EDT.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The US Geological Survey (USGS) is offering a funding opportunity for research to synthesize the state of scientific knowledge on transformational drought, and to pursue methods for applying scientific synthesis research to natural resource management. As the climate continues to warm, drought is increasingly transforming ecosystems in profound ways with significant impacts to local communities. Although research has begun into the field of transformational drought, common themes and key research questions have yet to be identified. In addition, managers lack the products necessary to apply these findings to their decision making. A national-scale synthesis of the state of the science is required to identify the most promising areas of research and applications to management. In addition, regional syntheses and case studies should be identified to support a national synthesis and to identify important commonalities and differences. This funding opportunity will go to support a national synthesis of the state of the science of transformational drought, as well as regional case studies and syntheses. |
