*New* Funding Opportunity from the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center: 2025 Faculty Fellowship Program, Consortium-Directed Funding (Info Session on 5/8/24, Due 7/15/24)

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. Applications are due July 15, 2024. Learn more, see the RFP and register for our info session on Wednesday, May 8 at 1:00 p.m. PT.
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 July 15, 2024. Learn more, see the RFP and register for our info session on Wednesday, May 8 at 1:00 p.m. PT.

*New* Opportunity for Funding from the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center: FY25 Project Solicitation, USGS-Directed Funding (Due 5/23/24)

The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center (NW CASC) invites Statements of Interest for their Federal Fiscal Year 2025 research portfolio, for which they 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. Statements of interest are due May 23rd, 2004.

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. Learn more.

Apply for CSDE’s T32 Fellowship Program (Due 4/26/24)

CSDE’s Data Science and Demography T32 Fellowship program is accepting applications for a 12-month fellowship for AY 2024-25. This training program is ideal for pre-doctoral candidates who have strong interests in gaining methodological training in data analytics and with research interests in the social determinants or social structural factors linked to population well-being, population health, or demography. The program provides mentoring and support for trainees pursuing scientific careers in relevant academia, government, or private sector organizations. Read more in the pdf flyer here. Applications are due Friday, 4/26/2024.

Grant Writing Summer Program (GWSP) (Due 5/10/24)

Applications are now open for this program, which assists scholars in preparing applications to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). More info here, and application page here. Past participants report great success, and lots of support and even fun along the way. Applying to the GWSP is open to CSDE affiliates (UW and external) as well as to local post-docs writing K awards with one or more CSDE affiliates on their mentoring team. If accepted, the program is free for applicants in these groups. Other researchers in the Seattle area are also eligible to apply and may be accepted if space is available.  The program fee is $7,500 for these applicants. (Current graduate students are not eligible to apply, sorry). Applications are due May 10th.
