The North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center's (NC CASC) USGS-Directed Research Funding, administered by the federal side of the NC CASC, is available periodically and supports climate adaptation research projects across the region.
Members of the NC CASC Consortium — University of Montana, Great Plains Tribal Water Alliance, Wildlife Conservation Society, Conservation Science Partners, and South Dakota State University — are eligible to submit proposals as the lead Principal Investigator, along with researchers from USGS entities (e.g., centers, field stations, laboratories, cooperative research units) and University of Colorado Boulder.
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.
