Two NW CASC Funding Opportunities! FY25 Project Solicitation + 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program
Fiscal Year 2025 Project Solicitation: Now Accepting Proposals
The NW CASC invites Statements of Interest for our Federal Fiscal Year 2025 research portfolio, for which we are seeking projects that focus on developing knowledge and resources to address 1) the effectiveness of management or adaptation strategies, 2) climate adaptation strategies for estuaries and coastal ecosystems and 3) management and climate adaptation strategies for sagebrush and juniper ecosystems, with a focus on the Great Basin.
Proposals developed in response to this project solicitation should focus on developing scientific information and products that can be directly applied to specific management challenges, either locally or broadly across landscapes in Idaho, Oregon, Washington and western Montana. The following are eligible to submit proposals as Lead Principal Investigator:
- Members of the NW CASC Consortium, including Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, Boise State University, Northwest Indian College, Portland State University, Oregon State University, University of Montana, University of Washington (host institution), Washington State University and Western Washington University
- Researchers from U.S. Geological Survey entities (e.g., centers, field stations, laboratories, Cooperative Research Units).
Researchers from other organizations (federal, state, Tribal, non-governmental and other) may participate in CASC-funded projects and receive funds via subawards, contracts or interagency agreements through an eligible organization. The deadline for Statements of Interest is May 23, 2024. This funding opportunity is administered by the USGS side of the NW CASC.

2025 Faculty Fellowship Program: Now Accepting Proposals
The NW CASC is now accepting proposals for our 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program. This last-mile program aims to support efforts to make existing research more usable for natural and cultural resource managers facing climate-related risks and challenges. To achieve this aim, the program supports research involving faculty at NW CASC Consortium institutions and provides skills-building opportunities around the co-production of decision-relevant (i.e., “actionable”) science.
The NW CASC invites proposals from faculty and non-faculty scientists with primary investigator status at University of Washington, Boise State University, Northwest Indian College, Oregon State University, Portland State University, University of Montana, Washington State University and Western Washington University.
The NW CASC 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program funding will run from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. The deadline to submit proposals is Monday, July 15, 2024. This funding opportunity is administered by the NW CASC Consortium.
Are you an eligible applicant interested in applying for the 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program? Do you have questions about the application process? Join us for a virtual info session on Wednesday, May 8 at 1:00 p.m. PT.
