Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2017 National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center Program (Funding Opportunity Number G16AS00049) was a discretionary U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (DOI-USGS) funding opportunity designed to strengthen the nation s capacity to understand and respond to climate change impacts on natural resources. The central goal of the program was to make sure the National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center remained closely aligned with real-world research and management needs identified by Federal and State agencies. In practical terms, the program focused on generating science and technical support that resource managers could use when making decisions about fish, wildlife, plants, and broader ecological processes affected by changing climate conditions.
A major emphasis of the opportunity was national coordination of climate-related research and modeling through regional centers, commonly referred to as Climate Science Centers. By coordinating work across regions, the program aimed to improve consistency in methods and outputs, especially for tools like downscaling and forecasting models that translate climate information into regionally relevant projections. This coordination was intended to produce more standardized, comparable information across geographies, reducing fragmented approaches and helping agencies and partners base management actions on uniform scientific foundations. The program also highlighted the importance of supporting regional collaborations and partnerships, reflecting an intent to connect science production with the on-the-ground needs of agencies and stakeholders managing fish and wildlife resources.
The funding mechanism for the opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during project performance (for example, collaboration on technical direction, shared responsibilities, or iterative coordination). The activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.820. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement text.
In terms of scale and timing, the opportunity was posted and created on May 3, 2016, with an application deadline of July 19, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates were the same). The award ceiling was $800,000, and the program anticipated making about four awards. Overall, the opportunity was structured to advance coordinated climate science that directly supports management decisions, leverages expertise from cooperating universities through the Climate Science Centers, and strengthens the broader mission of the Climate Science Center Program to deliver actionable climate information for conservation and natural resource stewardship.
