Alaska EPSCoR: Northern Test Case	Society, Environment	EPSCoR	Alaska ACE (Adapting to Changing Environments) is a place-based interdisciplinary effort by Alaska EPSCoR, a program of the National Science Foundation's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competetive Research (EPSCoR). This five-year collaborative agreement is organized into three regional test cases based at University of Alaska campuses and will improve Alaska's scientific capacity. The project addresses features of changing environments and identifies key variables and process that maximize a community's ability to effectively respond to change. The Alaska… read more	Alaska/Aleutian Islands
A Science-Based Community of Practice in the Chenier Plain	Biota, Environment, Inland Waters	SESTEP	The problem is that local communities and other interested parties continue to make decisions in isolation and the plethora of science-based information being generated is either not understood, not easily available, and can be overwhelming, hence sometimes this information that could be used to make well-informed decisions is ignored. A potential solution is to develop a Science-based Community of Practice that can help improve the ability of the Partners within the Chenier Plain to make decisions. The Gulf Coast Prairie Landscape Conservation Cooperative (GCP LCC) would… read more

Managing Idaho's Landscapes for Ecosystem Services: Boise-Treasure Valley	Society, Biota, Climatology | Meteorology | Atmosphere, Economy, Environment, Farming, Inland Waters	EPSCoR	Managing Idaho's Landscapes for Ecosystem Services: (1) advance understanding of changes in ecosystem services at the interface between urban and rural environments, (2) relate those changes to societal and climate drivers, and (3) provide science-based tools and training to inform policy decisions about the sustainable management of these ecosystem services. ECOSYSTEM ISSUE: Water resources in the face of a urban development and changing climate. How will water availability and water use change as the Treasure Valley population continues to grow? … read more	Rocky Mountain
Managing Idaho's Landscapes for Ecosystem Services: Pocatello	Society, Boundaries, Environment, Farming, Inland Waters	EPSCoR	Managing Idaho's Landscapes for Ecosystem Services: (1) advance understanding of changes in ecosystem services at the interface between urban and rural environments, (2) relate those changes to societal and climate drivers, and (3) provide science-based tools and training to inform policy decisions about the sustainable management of these ecosystem services. Pocatello Study Site: What are the tradeoffs between flood protection and the aesthetic, recreational and water quality services associated with the Portneuf river system in and near the mid-sized city of… read more	Rocky Mountain
