Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Video Case Studies of Climate Change Adaptation in Hawai'i" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00153) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) as a discretionary cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to fund the creation of a small series of short, high-quality video case studies that document and spotlight real climate change adaptation work already happening on the ground in Hawaii, specifically in the management of natural and cultural resources. The focus is on practical, field-based conservation actions and the people leading or implementing those efforts, rather than abstract discussions of climate impacts.
The project deliverable is a set of engaging video profiles, each around three minutes long, designed to be visually compelling and candid while still communicating credible conservation information. The videos are meant to show concrete adaptation responses to climate change and related conservation challenges, highlighting both thought leaders and hands-on practitioners. In other words, the content should make adaptation feel tangible by capturing what managers and conservationists are actually doing in place-based settings across Hawaii, and by presenting those actions in a way that is exciting enough to hold attention while still being informative.
The intended audiences span multiple groups: peer conservation managers who can learn from approaches being tested in Hawaii; youth and young professionals who are entering or considering careers in natural and cultural resource management; and practitioners connected to the broader Landscape Conservation Cooperative network, which can use the videos as cross-regional learning and motivation tools. Overall, the communication goal is not only to inform but also to encourage uptake and momentum by making adaptation efforts look achievable, relevant, and worth joining.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $30,000 and anticipated making one award. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as allowed under the grant rules, with the caveat that applicants should still check any additional eligibility notes in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline of June 1, 2016. The activity aligns with program areas connected to environment and natural resources (CFDA 15.669).
