Opportunity Information: Apply for BIA 2021 TCRP
The Tribal Climate Resilience Liaisons opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BIA 2021 TCRP) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Office of Trust Services, under the Tribal Climate Resilience Program. Its core purpose is to strengthen tribal climate science capacity and better connect tribal communities with the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs). The program funds tribal partners to hire tribal climate resilience liaison positions who will work closely with CASC staff and partners to support climate-related priorities that matter to tribes in three regions: Alaska, the Northwest, and the Southwest. The overall intent is practical and applied: improve coordination, communication, and the flow of climate science information and services so that tribes can more effectively plan for and respond to climate impacts, while also ensuring federal climate science efforts reflect tribal needs and perspectives.
Under this announcement, BIA planned to select three tribal organizations total, with one award aligned to each of the three CASC regions named in the opportunity. Each selected organization would receive non-recurring funding to carry out mutually agreed-upon tasks that align with both BIA climate science needs and the needs of tribal communities across the respective region. The central funded activity is staffing: the award supports recruiting and hiring tribal climate resilience liaisons who can act as dedicated points of contact between tribes and the CASC network. These liaisons are expected to be hosted in close connection with the regional CASC to support day-to-day collaboration, access to research staff, and consistent coordination, while still being employed through the selected tribal organization.
The opportunity outlines a region-specific structure for how many liaison positions may be supported and where they may be hosted. In Alaska, the award could support up to three tribal climate resilience liaisons, hosted at the Alaska CASC in Anchorage, Alaska, or at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. In the Northwest region, the award could support up to two liaisons, hosted either at the Northwest CASC in Corvallis, Oregon, or at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. In the Southwest region, the award could support up to two liaisons hosted at the Southwest CASC in Tucson, Arizona. The final number of liaison positions is explicitly dependent on available funding, and the final hosting location is meant to be determined collaboratively between the regional CASC and the selected tribal organization, with an emphasis on proximity and strong communication between the liaison(s) and CASC personnel.
Eligibility is limited to tribal non-profit, non-governmental organizations that serve federally recognized tribes and tribally controlled colleges and universities (TCUs). Federally recognized tribal governments are not listed as the eligible applicant category for this particular notice; instead, it targets tribal organizations other than tribal governments. Other entities can still be involved, but only as sub-grantees, meaning the lead applicant must be one of the eligible tribal organizational types. The program is categorized under the environment funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.156.
Key administrative details provided in the source include an award ceiling of $600,000, an original closing date of August 23, 2021, and a creation date of July 16, 2021. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement and collaboration with the federal agency during implementation, fitting the structure of liaisons embedded with or closely connected to the CASCs. Additional specifics and expectations are referenced as being available in the related document tied to the announcement, and the CASC system itself is described as a DOI-wide network focused on producing and delivering usable climate adaptation science, with regional centers serving different parts of the country.Apply for BIA 2021 TCRP
