Grant Overview
Hawaii's Unique Priority Outcomes for the Grant for Exploration without Boundaries
Targeting Conservation and Cultural Preservation
Hawaii, with its diverse and unique natural environment, is a prime location for the Grant for Exploration without Boundaries. The state's priority outcomes for this grant are deeply rooted in its rich cultural heritage and its commitment to conservation. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) and the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) are key state agencies that oversee initiatives related to cultural preservation and environmental conservation. These agencies work closely with local communities, researchers, and explorers to identify areas of priority for the grant.
Hawaii's distinctive geography, featuring active volcanoes, lush rainforests, and vast ocean ecosystems, makes it an attractive location for explorers and researchers. The state's frontier counties, such as Hawaii County, which encompasses the Big Island, offer vast areas for scientific and cultural exploration. The grant's focus on expeditions that further our understanding of the world through scientific, cultural, and conservation fieldwork aligns perfectly with Hawaii's priorities.
Focusing on Native Hawaiian Initiatives and Sustainability
One of the primary outcomes that Hawaii seeks from the Grant for Exploration without Boundaries is the advancement of Native Hawaiian initiatives. The OHA provides grants for projects that promote the welfare and well-being of Native Hawaiians, including those related to cultural preservation, education, and economic development. Projects that are led by individual explorers with a deep understanding of Native Hawaiian culture and practices are of particular interest.
In addition to cultural preservation, Hawaii is also focused on sustainability and environmental conservation. The state's unique biodiversity is under threat from invasive species, climate change, and other environmental stressors. The DLNR's Division of Forestry and Wildlife and the Division of Aquatic Resources are actively involved in conservation efforts, and the grant can support projects that align with these initiatives. For example, explorers and researchers can conduct fieldwork to identify new species, develop conservation plans, or study the impacts of climate change on Hawaii's ecosystems.
The grant can also support projects that promote sustainable practices and community engagement in conservation. With the state's strong focus on 'malama 'āina' or caring for the land, projects that involve local communities in conservation efforts are highly valued. The USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) also provides support for conservation projects in Hawaii, and the grant can be used to complement these efforts.
Measuring Success in Hawaii
To measure the success of the Grant for Exploration without Boundaries in Hawaii, the funder and state agencies will be looking for outcomes that align with the state's priorities. These include the advancement of scientific knowledge, the preservation of cultural heritage, and the promotion of sustainability. Projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of Hawaii's unique environment and cultural context, and that involve local communities in the research and exploration process, will be given priority.
Applicants from Hawaii should be aware of the state's specific requirements and priorities when applying for the grant. They should also be prepared to demonstrate how their project will contribute to the state's priority outcomes and how they will measure and report on their progress.
