Focused Investment
Program – funding not recommended
Ranked 7th, 6 partnerships
funded: Deschutes, Willamette, Harney Wetlands, Sage Grouse, Ashland Forest, Grand Ronde
Reviewers questioned ecological
effectiveness; subcommittee questioned time to recovery; Grand Ronde requested less, so fit into budget with 5 others
Sandy: “Strong partnership, good
track record, potential to turn the ‘ecological dial.’ Better bang for the buck elsewhere.”

Emerging Opportunities
Climate Resiliency – FEMA,
NOAA, WCS
- Focus on broader ecosystems, rather than single species.
- Strong projects should benefit
ecosystems and people that work in them.
- Don’t focus on the most vulnerable systems (i.e. can’t fund
an uphill battle).
- Project should emphasize promoting long‐term resilience
and be achievable.
- Project shouldn’t require perpetual future investment.
- Prefer projects that can serve as a model for other efforts
- Prefer projects that engage a partnership that can leverage
different expertise and skillsets.
