The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (WALCC) is offering a grant to fund projects related to Coastal Storms and their Impacts in western Alaska. With potential funding of up to $1 million, the program is seeking proposals in four key areas including shorefast ice dynamics, local involvement in monitoring coastal dynamics, effects of changes in coastal storms on coastal biological resources, and opportunities for deployment of instrumentation. Projects should demonstrate how WALCC enhances existing efforts and benefits stakeholders. Detailed instructions can be found in the attached document ‘WALCC 2012RFP Guidance_13012.doc’. Webinars will address questions on February 3rd and 8th, 2012. Closing date for submissions is March 01, 2012.

| Description:: | The Western Alaska Landscape Conservation Cooperative (WALCC) promotes coordination, dissemination, and development of applied science to inform landscape level conservation, including terrestrial-marine linkages, in the face of landscape scale stressors, focusing on climate change. The WALCC is seeking project ideas related to Coastal Storms and their Impacts in western Alaska for potential funding in 2012. Total available funding is uncertain at this time, however, the WALCC may have up to $1 Million dollars to distribute for projects in 2012 and decisions will need to be made by early April to distribute funds. This will be the first of a two-year program funding multiple projects on this topic (The proposed 2013 announcement will continue to focus on coastal storms and their impacts though the emphasis areas may differ from the four in this announcement). Successful projects will demonstrate how the WALCC adds value to existing efforts in western Alaska and helps partners address shared science needs. Proposals supported by the program are intended to produce both short term results and longer term benefits to an array of stakeholders. We are seeking proposals in four topic areas of science needs related to Coastal Storms and their Impacts in western Alaska: 1) Shorefast ice dynamics; 2) Local involvement in monitoring coastal dynamics 3) Effects of changes in coastal storms on coastal biological resources (including subsistence resources and habitats) and 4) Opportunities to leverage deployment of instrumentation or data collection. While we are interested in proposals that cover wide geographic areas of the WALCC, we recognize that some proposals will focus on smaller geographic areas to develop, test or demonstrate methodology or applications.
Please follow the guidance in the attached document “WALCC 2012RFP Guidance_13012.doc” for details and instructions about responding to this RFP.
