Application Period Now Open: 2027 Faculty Fellowship Program 

A researcher measures an area along the forest floor while setting up equipment to gauge the snow depth throughout the winter.Modeled after our highly successful graduate student and postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program, the NW CASC Faculty Fellowship Program supports research related to climate adaptation in Northwest natural and cultural resource management and training in the principles and practices of co-producing decision-relevant (i.e., “actionable”) science. This is a “last-mile” program that funds activities aimed at enhancing the usability of existing research for natural resource managers. Last-mile activities take research beyond peer-reviewed publication to formats more easily accessed, interpreted and applied by resource managers. The NW CASC invites applications for its Faculty Fellowship Program from faculty and non-faculty scientists with primary investigator status at University of Washington (UW), Boise State University (BSU), Northwest Indian College (NWIC), Oregon State University (OSU), Portland State University (PSU), University of Montana (UM), Washington State University (WSU) and Western Washington University (WWU).
