AbstractThe Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments (GLISA) is proud to announce our 2018 small grants competition. GLISA will present details on the 2018 competition, past grantees will share project results and lessons learned, and attendees will have the opportunity to brainstorm potential projects and ask questions.
DescriptionFrom 2011 to 2015, GLISA ran an annual small grants competition to award external grants to boundary organizations to work with GLISA to address the risks of climate variability and change in the Great Lakes region. Grantees worked on a variety of projects, collaborating with the GLISA team to incorporate and use customized climate information. After conducting an internal evaluation of the grants program, GLISA is ready to launch the 2018 competition. This session will provide an overview of the GLISA program and the boundary chain model of stakeholder engagement. We will then announce the 2018 competition details and deadlines, with past awardees briefly presenting their projects, including highlights, challenges, and lessons learned. Panelists include representatives from the West Michigan Sustainable Business Forum, the Huron River Watershed Council, and the College of Menominee Nation Sustainable Development Institute. Attendees will have an opportunity to brainstorm potential projects and ask questions of the GLISA team and past awardees.
