Tribal Climate Change GuideThe online Tribal Climate Change Guide is a clearinghouse of information for Tribes on funding opportunities, publications, trainings, and more. The guide is updated on a weekly basis and is intended to provide up-to-date information on grants, programs, and plans that may assist tribes in addressing climate change through a broad range of sectors. The guide is part of the Pacific Northwest Tribal Climate Change Project, a collaborative project at the University of Oregon with support from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station, the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative.
A hallmark of the PNW Tribal Climate Change Project is the Pacific Northwest Tribal Climate Change Network, which serves as a means to exchange information on climate change policy, programs, grants and other opportunities for tribes to engage in climate change issues. The Network also provides input into the development of project resources and helps focus on the most critical areas for research and action.

The mission of the Branch of Tribal Climate Resilience (TCR) is to enable climate preparedness and resilience across all Indian Affairs programs and for all Federally-recognized Tribal Nations and Alaska Native villages through technical and financial assistance, access to scientific resources, and educational opportunities. Tribes can leverage TCR programs to further support their existing operations, program planning, project design, as well as to incorporate Indigenous and Traditional Knowledges into their management and protection of Trust resources and Tribal economies.

The Tribal Resilience Resource Guide (TRGG) provides one-stop shopping for Tribes & Partners to find resources related to both Tribes and other Resilience Programs in a single format across agencies, regions, Tribes, and groups. This resource guide was developed to provide federal government-wide resources for tribal resilience in a standard framework across all federal agencies and programs that provide tribal and/or resilience support.

The Tribal Climate Resilience Resource Directory is a regularly updated list of federal and non-federal resources to support climate preparedness and resilience for all federally recognized Tribal Nations and Alaska Native villages. It is compiled by TCR as a resource to inform and support Tribal climate resilience efforts.

Climate Adaptation Science CentersThe Department of the Interior's Climate Adaptation Science Centers (CASCs) is a partnership-driven program that teams scientists with natural and cultural resource managers and local communities to help fish, wildlife, water, land, and people adapt to a changing climate. The CASC network is comprised of the National CASC and nine regional CASCs. Each regional CASC is based out of a host university in their region and is comprised of multi-institution consortia including university and non-university partners.
The regional CASCs provide funding for research projects that advance understanding of climate change impacts and variability on fish, wildlife, water, land, and people. Projects must align with the regional CASC's science agenda. Funding eligibility is limited to USGS researchers and consortium institution member PIs. Researchers at consortium institutions should reach out to their respective Consortium Leadership Team member for more information.
