Climate Change Technical Assistance Program for Tribes, Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals
The Tribes & Climate Change Program at the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals is excited to announce our new Caring for Our Relatives Technical Assistance Program.
Our program offers free, ongoing technical assistance for Tribes who may be facing barriers to starting or completing climate change-related species and/or ecological resilience projects that help our non-human relatives to survive and thrive in a changing climate. Types of projects supported include: grant writing, project proposal support, project scoping, support in implementing species/ecological resilience projects, engaging with Tribal Leadership, and more!
What can I expect?
- Once submitted, we'll review your TA request and reach out for an introductory conversation to confirm that we can support your project. If it's determined that we're a good fit, then we'll work with you to set up a schedule and plan of action.
What is an ‘ecological resilience’ project?
- We’re defining an ‘ecological resilience’ project as a project that helps our non-human relatives to survive and thrive in a changing climate.
What does Technical Assistance look like?
- We can work together remotely (via email/video calls/phone), or, in some cases, through direct on-site assistance depending on availability of funds and time.
- Our TA program is intended as ongoing support to Tribes, with projects regularly spanning 6+ months.
