DEADLINE:

Jan. 18, 2017 5pm MST

ELIGIBILITY:

Only the following may *submit (as the lead Principal Investigator)* Statements
of Interest (SOI) or Proposals in response to this Funding Opportunity:

>>Institutions that are either Host Institutions or Consortium Members for
the requesting DOI Climate Science Center *(exceptions are made for
projects spanning multiple CSC regions—these should be submitted to all
CSCs of interest. See “Additional Considerations and Information” below)*,
and

>>USGS centers, field stations, laboratories, Cooperative Research Units,
etc.

Each proposal must have a Principal Investigator (PI) from an eligible
institution. *Parties from other organizations (Federal, State, Tribal, or
other) can participate and receive funds via subaward from the Principal
Investigator but the proposal submitter and PI must be from an eligible
organization, as described above.* Non-eligible applicants are encouraged
to establish working partnerships with one of the recognized eligible
applicants to seek participation as part of a project lead by a
CSC/university consortium member or USGS facility.
ABOUT THE CSCs:

The Alaska Climate Science Center (AK CSC) is hosted by the University of
Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) and physically housed within the University of
Alaska Anchorage (UAA). There are numerous program partners
<http://csc.alaska.edu/about/program-partners>.

The South Central Climate Science Center (SC-CSC) is comprised of seven
member institutions: the University of Oklahoma (OU), Texas Tech University
(TTU), Louisiana State University (LSU), the Chickasaw Nation (CN), the
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (CNO), Oklahoma State University (OSU), and
NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Lab (GFDL).

The Southwest Climate Science Center (SW CSC) is hosted by a consortium of
six institutions that comprise the Southwest Climate Alliance: University
of Arizona, Tucson; University of California, Davis; University of
California, Los Angeles; Desert Research Institute, Reno; University of
Colorado, Boulder; and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the
University of California, San Diego.

WHO WE ARE:

The eight regional Climate Science Centers, managed by the USGS
National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center, partner with natural
and cultural resource managers to provide science that helps fish,
wildlife, ecosystems, and the communities they support adapt
to climate change.
