Grants to USA faculty members at IHEs and researchers at nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and for-profits for conservation research. A preliminary proposal must be submitted prior to a full application. Funding is intended to support community partnerships that will improve science-based management, to protect and restore the Long Island Sound and its natural resources through the implementation of the LISS Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan.
The purpose of this Call is to support actionable research that produces and integrates information which fills identified gaps in our understanding and extends the ability of managers to make informed decisions and take appropriate management actions to prevent, reduce, or mitigate anthropogenic stressors and enhance the health and sustainability of the Sound.
Topic areas address the four themes of the 2015 Long Island Sound Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP).
Applicants must specify how the research supports any of the CCMP Ecosystem Targets, Outcomes, Objectives, Strategies, or Implementation Actions. Proposals that incorporate the underlying principles of resilience to climate change, long-term sustainability, and environmental justice are encouraged.
For the purposes of this RFP, research is defined as natural and/or social scientific endeavors with explicit and testable hypotheses that strive to answer “why” and “how” questions. Proposals that focus primarily on model development and/or synthesis efforts must be hypothesis driven and those that seek to describe or monitor conditions and do not identify or test a specific hypothesis will not be considered.
This Call encourages the submission of larger-scale research proposals that combine topic areas or themes, embrace interdisciplinary approaches, or involve multiple partners to produce actionable, management-relevant outputs. Research outputs should provide explanations, models, or tools to understand and forecast the response of LIS to anthropogenic stressors and to support management measures to prevent, reduce, or mitigate these stressors.
