The deadline to submit applications for the Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s 2027 Faculty Fellowship Program has been extended to August 31, 2026. The NW CASC Faculty Fellowship Program supports research related to climate adaptation in Northwest natural and cultural resource management as well as training in the principles and practices of co-producing decision-relevant (i.e., “actionable”) science. This is a last-mile program that funds activities aimed at enhancing the usability of existing research for natural resource managers. Last-mile activities take research beyond peer-reviewed publication to formats more easily accessed, interpreted and applied by resource managers.

The NW CASC invites applications 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 2027 Faculty Fellowship Program funding will run from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027. This funding opportunity is administered by the NW CASC Consortium.
