Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the entire session. Where will the recording be made available for future use?

Yes Jesse, the link will be available here: https://www.usgs.gov/ecosystems/climate-adaptation-science-centers/casc-research-funding-opportunities

great, thank you.

We will also make the link available on our website

Is there a process for non-member Universities within the NE footprint to join the consortium?

@Brent - our consortium is competed through a cooperative grant every 5-7 years.

Katherine just covered this in her comments. In short, a non-consortium university would need to team with a consortium university.

Thank you Michelle

What if our project spans CASCs? In my case, project would be mostly in the Midwest but also including a NE CASC state. Do we submit two proposals?

Is it possible to propose a project that involves two consortium member universities?

Could you clarify, if a project fits the cross cut theme, does it also have to fit one of the other 4 priorities?

For MW CASC proposals, contact Olivia LeDee: oledee@usgs.gov

Got it, thanks

As someone who has used RFP Manager as an applicant, I would simply say it is, in fact, easy to use.

Can you clarify the extent that marine projects would be considered? For example a project in the gulf of Maine?

Is it important to have a clear DOI partner, e.g. FWS related to implementation? Who are other typical "use" partners? state agencies?

Thanks

Regarding the invasive species priority area - did I hear correctly that projects could also involve studies on shifting distributions of native species that are at risk from invasive (i.e., forest trees)?

excellent thank you Michelle

OK - thanks!

If a PI works for USGS do the funds still pass through UMASS?

Woods Hole Research Center is on the map with partner institutions, but is not listed as a partner on your website. Are they currently in the CASC consortium?

They recently changed their name to Woodwell Climate Research Center, and yes - they are still a partner in the consortium.

Great. Thanks!

What funding mechanism would be used to fund the USDA Forest Service?

OK, we've used Interagency Agremeents before

Thanks so much!
