GB USFWS GBLCC FY16 Funding Announcement

The GBLCC is seeking project pre-proposals for landscape-scale climate-related science and information that address one or more of the eligible activities. A team of reviewers convened by the GBLCC staff will evaluate project pre-proposals. Based on evaluations and potential discussions, the GBLCC will invite a subset of the leads who submitted pre-proposals to submit full proposals. Invited full proposals will be eligible for up to $100,000 for Activities 1-5, and $200,000 for Activity 6 (see section II of the instructions). Invited joint proposals may also be eligible for up to $200,000. Approximately $850,000 in funding is available for up to 15 projects.

In support of the GBLCC, and consistent with Secretarial Order 3289 and other LCC guidance, awards issued pursuant to this announcement will be expected to result in various products or outcomes. The GBLCC reserves the right to make no awards under this announcement. Funding amounts awarded for selected proposals are not explicit; final amounts awarded are at the discretion of the GBLCC.

The GBLCC is bounded on the west by the Sierra Nevada range, on the north by the northern edge of southern plains of Idaho, on the east by the Wasatch Range of Utah, and on the south by the Mojave Desert in southern Utah and Nevada (http://greatbasinlcc.org). The GBLCC mission is to enhance understanding of the effects of changing climate and other natural and human impacts across the region, and promote the coordination of science-based actions to enable human and natural communities to respond and adapt to those conditions. More details about previously funded projects and GBLCC science priorities can be found at our website, and in our Science and Traditional Knowledge Strategic Plan.
