Lenfest Ocean Program - Managing Protected Areas in a Changing Ocean

Pew Charitable Trusts - Lenfest Ocean Program

Grant Provider's 990

Agency: Foundation

GrantWatch ID #206683

Grant Description

Grants to USA, Canada, and International institutions for projects related to ocean environments. Funding is intended to support both research and planning activities. Eligible proposals advance work related to ecosystem change or climate change. The goal of the program is to support scientific research that is useful to those managing and making decisions about the ocean environment.

The Lenfest Ocean Program is interested in supporting research projects that fill knowledge gaps and demonstrate how to incorporate a climate lens into protected area management. Changing ocean conditions due to climate variability and change, such as increasing temperature, ocean acidification, and deoxygenation, among others, are already impacting marine ecosystems worldwide. However, there is limited information and guidance about how established marine protected areas (MPAs) should consider the changing climate in their management. To that end, the Foundation is requesting proposals for research and planning grants focused on developing and providing usable information about managing protected areas in a changing ocean.  

Successful projects in this RFP will pay particular attention to ensuring the involvement of managers, stakeholders, and other potential partners or community groups through engagement activities that should be built into the proposed work. 

The LOP will accept proposals for either of two types of projects, a research grant or a planning grant:

  • Research grants undertake research activities and provide new information useful to MPA management. Research grants should involve active engagement with partners and stakeholders as described elsewhere in the RFP. They are expected to effectively articulate the specific research questions, plans for how research would be conducted, and plans for how engagement will be integrated throughout the process.
  • Planning Grants undertake participatory planning activities, relationship building, or stage-setting surrounding a specific topic or question that will advance on the challenge of managing protected areas in a changing ocean. Planning grants are not anticipated to undertake research; however, they do need to have goals and outcomes that relate to understanding and identifying research needs, use of information, and/or knowledge gaps in a specific regional or sectoral context.
