[RangelandsPartnership] New RFAs/RFPs for consideration

[Kenyon, Jeremy (jkenyon@uidaho.edu)]

The discussions at the recent annual meeting, as well as the Rangelands Partnership (RP) sustainability survey results, identified grants as a primary means to gain funding for projects of mutual interest and benefit.  Below are links to several new RFAs that are opportunities to leverage the RP for your own projects (see the requirements for collaboration and multi-state efforts).


*         WSARE - http://www.westernsare.org/Grants/Types-of-Grants

*         RREA National Focus Funds - https://nifa.usda.gov/funding-opportunity/renewable-resources-extension-act-national-focus-fund-projects-rrea-nff

*         RREA Strategic Plan - https://nifa.usda.gov/sites/default/files/resource/RREA_Strategic_Plan_2012_2016.pdf

*         REE Action Plan - Goal 3 - http://www.ree.usda.gov/ree/news/USDA_2014_REE_Action_Plan_08-2014_Final.pdf

*         NIFA Strategic Plan - http://www.ree.usda.gov/ree/news/USDA_2014_REE_Action_Plan_08-2014_Final.pdf

Here are a few reasons you should consider including the RP as a collaborator:


*         Recognized location for quick and open access to authoritative and reliable rangelands stewardship information and resources

*         Convenient and fully developed outlets for reaching and engaging multiple audiences (websites and social media)

*         Direct involvement of Extension educators and library professionals throughout the Western U.S.

*         Extensive technical knowledge of and support for web, videography, and learning/teaching tools development

*         Global Rangelands and Rangelands West serve the research, extension, and teaching missions of LGUs

The RP Executive Committee and the AZ Technical Team stand ready to assist with preparation of grant proposals. Please get in touch if we can help in any way.  We look forward to working with you to ensure the future of this great collaboration!

Please circulate this information widely among your rangeland extension colleagues.

Thank you,
The RP Executive Committee
