Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: FWSR1 PICCC FY2010) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding program meant to jump-start applied scientific projects that directly address how climate change is expected to affect native plants and animals across the Pacific Islands Geographic Area. The core purpose is practical and management-focused: the Service is looking for science that can be used to guide real-world conservation and resource decisions in U.S. Pacific territories, especially where climate change and other large-scale landscape stressors are already reshaping ecosystems on land and in the ocean. PICCC itself is an applied conservation science partnership based in Honolulu, Hawaii, and this funding is intended to support its broader mission of helping managers respond to climate-driven change across the region.

The projects sought under this announcement are explicitly "applied" rather than purely theoretical. In other words, proposals should aim to produce decision-relevant results, tools, syntheses, or analyses that managers can use to plan, prioritize, and adapt conservation actions for fish, wildlife, and plants. While climate change is the central theme, the opportunity also recognizes that climate impacts often interact with other landscape-scale pressures, so competitive projects are likely those that connect climate projections to tangible ecological outcomes such as habitat shifts, species vulnerability, changes in ecosystem function, or risks to priority resources.

Funding is provided under the Service's Climate Change Planning and Adaptive Science Capacity Programs, with FY 2010 appropriations driving the timeline and urgency. The announcement emphasizes the agency's need to commit funds quickly to priority work, which is why the request for proposals was issued: to ensure projects could start promptly and meet performance expectations tied to the FY 2010 allocation. In practical terms, applicants should expect a process oriented toward funding projects that are well-scoped, actionable, and ready to move.

Awards are expected to range from a floor of $20,000 up to a ceiling of $250,000 per project, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The solicitation is fairly flexible about what the work can look like. Proposals may involve new, multi-year research efforts, but they can also be built around existing datasets and prior studies, such as meta-analyses, syntheses, modeling efforts, or other creative approaches that produce useful outcomes without requiring additional fieldwork. This flexibility signals that the Service is open to efficient, high-impact projects that can deliver near-term value, especially when time or logistics make new data collection difficult.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types, as long as they meet any conditions described in the full announcement. The funding mechanisms referenced include cooperative agreements and grants (and the listing also mentions procurement contracts), and the activity category falls under environment, natural resources, and science and technology research and development. The CFDA number provided is 15.650 (Research Grants, Generic).

Key dates included a posted date of April 20, 2010, with an application closing date of May 30, 2010, and an archive date of June 29, 2010. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or with questions about the opportunity, the listed contact was Jeff Burgett, Interim PICCC Coordinator, reachable by phone at 808-792-9400 or by email at jeffburgett@fws.gov.
