The Northwest Climate Adaptation Science Center’s new Faculty Fellowship Program aims to expand the community of Northwest researchers equipped to effectively co-produce actionable climate adaptation science. The Faculty Fellowship Program will build upon the successful model of our Research Fellowship Program to provide one year of funding to annual cohorts of faculty across our Consortium, as well as training in actionable science principles and practices.

This “last mile” program supports the translation of new research that may be aligned with the actionable science priorities of the NW CASC, but is not yet in a format easily applied to decision-making. The Faculty Fellowship Program will support participants in collaborating effectively with resource managers to co-produce translational products (e.g., tools, databases, protocols, workshops) derived from recent research to make it readily accessible and useful to decision-makers.
