Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) grant opportunity was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Pacific Region funding call for projects that generate practical science and decision-support information for climate change work across the Pacific Islands. The program’s intent was to strengthen the knowledge base needed to understand island-scale climate-driven change and to help managers respond more effectively. The geographic focus followed the PICCC region (referenced through the PICCC website for the map and program goals), reflecting the reality that Pacific islands are diverse, widely distributed, and often under-studied, making local data and locally relevant models especially important.
USFWS solicited proposals aligned with one or more of three themes. The first theme, Past and Future Geophysical Change, emphasized understanding how physical and climatic variables change at island or archipelago scales in response to global climate forcing. Projects under this theme could document historical trends using direct observations or proxy records, and/or develop models to project future conditions under different climate scenarios. The key idea was that island processes are complex and need better data foundations and island-appropriate modeling approaches rather than relying solely on broad global or continental assumptions.
The second theme, Ecological Responses to Climate or Large-scale Change, focused on how Pacific Island ecosystems respond to shifting geophysical conditions or other major stressors. This included terrestrial systems as well as aquatic and nearshore environments. Proposed work could examine past ecological change, forecast future ecological shifts, or link ecological outcomes to drivers such as temperature, rainfall patterns, sea level dynamics, storm regimes, or other large-scale influences. The overall goal was to clarify vulnerability, likely trajectories of change, and the mechanisms connecting climate drivers to biological and ecosystem responses.
The third theme, Management Tools, targeted applied products and approaches that help natural and cultural resource managers make decisions under changing conditions. This theme supported the development or testing of tools, frameworks, and management strategies intended to address projected ecological changes driven by large-scale processes. In practical terms, this could include decision-support methods, prioritization approaches, monitoring designs, adaptation strategies, or other management-oriented outputs that translate climate and ecological science into actions managers can implement.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSR1 PICCC FY2011) offering support through cooperative agreements and grants under CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). The estimated total funding available was $300,000, with an anticipated 7 awards. Individual awards had a stated ceiling of $200,000, with no stated minimum award amount, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was broad and included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), individuals, independent school districts, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), as well as public/Indian housing authorities and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. The opportunity was posted on April 11, 2011, with a closing date of April 25, 2011, and archived May 25, 2011. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Jeff Burgett, PICCC Science Coordinator, at 808-687-6149.
Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) Grant Opportunity FAQs
What is the PICCC grant opportunity?
The Pacific Islands Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) grant opportunity was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Pacific Region funding call for projects that produce practical science and decision-support information to support climate change work across the Pacific Islands.
What was the overall purpose of this funding call?
