GB USFWS GBLCC FY14 Funding Announcement

The GBLCC is sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), with staff provided by the BLM and the USFWS. The BLM has provided $600,000 to the GBLCC for landscape-scale, climate-related science and information, and has authorized the USFWS to act as the funding administrator. Project proposals will be evaluated by a team of reviewers convened by the GBLCC Coordinator and Science Coordinator. All proposals will be treated confidentially and project leads will be contacted if joint discussions are considered.

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 Steering Committee.

The GBLCC is geographically well defined, 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://lccnetwork.org/Find). 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.
