Deadline for Statement of Interest: Friday, March 19, 2021 at 5:00 PM EDT
The CASCs are coming together to move climate adaptation science forward through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 funding opportunity that will provide nearly $10 million for research to support land managers making science-based decisions. For the South Central CASC, up to $1,000,000 may be available to fund FY22 projects that support our research priorities. The South Central CASC intends to fund 3-10 projects through this RFP. We also expect to fund one or two projects for up to $450,000 for a total of three years; and the remainder of the funded projects will be up to $300,000 and for a total of two years.
Statements of Interest (SOIs) for projects to be initiated in FY 2022 are being accepted for the South Central CASC. Solicited projects should address high-priority natural or cultural resource management issues that benefit from climate-informed planning and adaptation management. Specific science priorities and needs for our CASC can be found in the CASC FY22 Funding Opportunity document on the CASC Research Funding Opportunity Page.

All SOIs submitted by a South Central CASC consortium PI must also be sent to Emma Kuster (emmakuster@ou.edu), University Assistant Director of the South Central CASC, prior to the SOI deadline.
