SNAP 2015 Call for Proposals
SNAP: Science for Nature and People announces the 2015 call for new
project proposals. Proposals for new SNAP Working Groups will be
accepted until Monday, May 18, 2015 (https://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/snap/rfp).
SNAP (www.snap.is) is an innovative scientific collaboration between
NCEAS, The Nature Conservancy and the Wildlife Conservation Society,
aimed at solving the most pressing challenges and advancing solutions at
the intersection of nature conservation and human well-being. SNAP
operates at the boundary between analysis and action.
Successful Working Group proposals will help answer two overarching
questions:
* How can nature conservation broadly benefit human well-being while
enhancing longer-term ecological resilience and sustainability?
* How can economic development and humanitarian activities be
conducted in a sustainable manner and what alternatives can be explored
to achieve this sustainability?
Proposals must be developed either within or in collaboration with SNAP
partner institutions. Interested researchers should contact one of the
following for help with shaping proposals, and identifying appropriate
collaborators:
* For PIs from academic institutions: Craig Groves (propo...@snap.is)
* For PIs from WCS: Carter Ingram (cing...@wcs.org)
* For PIs from TNC: Jensen Montambault (jmontamba...@tnc.org)
