NSRC Releases Applied Forest Research RFP
The Northeastern States Research Cooperative (NSRC) has released their 2024 Request for Proposals (RFP) aimed at problem-driven research that will enhance forest and community resilience in the Northern Forest Region under threat from climate change, forest pests and pathogens, and changing land use. Proposals are sought that will address forest health issues along with community and economic resilience, and provide decision support and management tools for forest owners and managers.
NSRC expects to award nearly $2.2 million in funding for projects that will begin in summer 2025.

The NSRC supports cross-disciplinary, collaborative research in the Northern Forest — a 26-million acre working landscape that is home to about two million residents and stretches from eastern Maine through New Hampshire and Vermont and into northern New York. Broad research goals are stipulated in the NSRC congressional authorization (Public Law 105-185).
