Request for Proposals:

Wildlife Habitat Policy Research Program

 

NOW AVAILABLE at www.whprp.org <http://www.whprp.org/> 

 

The Wildlife Habitat Policy Research Program (WHPRP) is soliciting Letters
of Intent (Due July 10, 2006) for our competitive awards program.
Application for the awards is open to everyone. 

 

The WHPRP will fund eight specific projects in 2006 related to the
implementation of State Wildlife Action Plans and wildlife habitat
conservation in the United States.  Project topics include: 

*       Analysis of the Priorities, Obstacles and Opportunities that Exist
for the Implementation of U.S. State Wildlife Action Plans
*       Analysis of Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Wildlife Habitat
in the U.S.
*       Approach to Developing Performance Measures for U.S. Habitat
Conservation
*       Design of U.S. Habitat Banking Systems
*       Analysis of U.S. State and Local Policies
*       Estimation of U.S. Habitat Conservation Costs
*       Assessment of U.S. Habitat Conservation and Provision of Ecosystem
Services
*       Development of an Operational Benefit Estimation Tool for the U.S.

 

The WHPRP's mission is to develop and disseminate new information and tools
to accelerate the conservation of wildlife habitat in the US. The WHPRP
sponsors work that is of the highest technical quality and also relevant to
the needs of policy makers, administrators, resource managers,
practitioners, and landowners.

 

Based upon the Letters of Intent, three candidates for each project will be
invited to submit full proposals for external review.  Awards are expected
by November 1, 2006 and will range from $25,000 to $250,000 each, depending
on the project.  Further information, full project descriptions, and
instructions for Letters of Intent are available at: www.whprp.org
<http://www.whprp.org/> .             

 

The WHPRP is a program of the National Council on Science and the
Environment (NCSE), an independent, not-for-profit NGO, dedicated to
improving the scientific basis for environmental decision-making. Please
