- The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) was established by Presidential Initiative in 1989 and mandated by Congress in the Global Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 to develop and coordinate “a comprehensive and integrated United States research program which will assist the Nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change.”
- REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: For Cooperative Weed Management in Forested Areas
- The, New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD), Forestry Division (Division) is seeking applications from Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMAs) for noxious weed management in areas where noxious weed invasions threaten forested acres. EMNRD has approximately $234,000 currently available for this project, with the possibility of additional funds being provided later, and may award multiple contracts as a result of this request for proposals (RFP).
- Request for Proposals for Hazardous Fuels Mitigation Projects
- The New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD), Forestry Division (Division) is requesting proposals from governmental entities that are surrounded by hazardous forest fuels that pose a threat in the event of a wildland fire for the planning and implementation of hazardous fuels mitigation projects that will reduce the fire threat in Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) areas in New Mexico. Funding will be awarded through a competitive process administered by the Western Wildland Fire Protection Committee (WWFPC), with emphasis on hazardous fuel reduction, information and education, and community and homeowner action. The Division plans to award multiple contracts as a result of this Request for Proposals (RFP).

- Bureau of Reclamation Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program
- The Bureau of Reclamation has made a new funding opportunity available for water entities in the Western United States to conduct water reclamation research under the Title XVI Water Reclamation and Reuse Program. This cost-shared funding opportunity, available at www.grants.gov as opportunity number R16-FOA-DO-011, helps communities address water supply challenges by providing much-needed funding for research to establish or expand water reuse markets, improve water reuse facilities, or upgrade new facilities with state of the art technology. It is expected that up to $2 million will be available for this funding opportunity. Research sponsors must provide 75 percent or more of the study costs. Funding will be awarded in three categories. Funding group I will be for projects up to $75,000 per agreement for a research study up to 18 months; funding group II will be up to $150,000 per agreement for a research study up to 24 months; and funding group III will be up to $300,000 in federal funds for a research study that can be completed within 36 months. State, regional, or local authorities; Indian tribes or tribal organizations; or other entities including water districts, wastewater districts, or rural water districts, will be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. Applicants must be located within the 17 Western States or Hawaii. Applications are due by 4 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time on April 20, 2016. Title XVI projects provide communities with a new source of clean water, while promoting water and energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Title XVI supports the President’s “Climate Action Plan,” and the “Executive Order—Preparing the United States for the Impacts of Climate Change.” This funding opportunity is also an important part of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Program, which supports the White House’s Water Innovation Strategy to address Water Resource Challenges and Opportunities for Water Technology Innovation.

- 2011 Tamarisk Research Conference: Call for Papers
- The purpose of the 3rd biennial research conference is to bring tamarisk, Russian olive and other riparian related invasive plant and restoration researchers together at a single venue to share their results with other scientists and western land managers so that future management efforts can be guided by state-of-the-science. This conference will promote dialogue between researchers and land managers to identify future research needs for the development of effective policy and management decisions.
