For Applicants | Focus Areas | Vietnam / Biodiversity
Eligible Countries:
Vietnam
Additional Criteria for Applicants:
Please see Section VI of the Solicitation for General Eligibility requirements.
Objectives:
PEER is seeking to support biodiversity conservation research proposals in Vietnam. Proposed areas of research should inform applied measures related to terrestrial biodiversity conservation, protected area management, wildlife conservation, and/or prevention of trafficking of wildlife.
Projects must have explicit biodiversity conservation objectives, with anticipated outcomes that positively affect biodiversity and ecosystem management in Vietnam. Projects should respond to identified threats to biodiversity and consider conservation solutions that could lead to improved ecosystem health or improved natural resource management leading to improved ecosystem health. Applicants are encouraged to focus on important biodiversity areas (e.g., central/southern Annamites), internationally or nationally recognized species of concern, and/or species important for monitoring ecosystem health.
USAID/Vietnam is particularly interested in supporting projects that involve collaborations with key stakeholders including private sector partners and civil society organizations, as well as projects that have the potential to inform government policy at the national and/or local level and develop and/or utilize innovative approaches to addressing biodiversity conservation challenges in Vietnam. While the work should focus on Vietnam, in cases where the research involves trans-boundary considerations, research teams are encouraged to look for collaborators in neighboring countries. Projects should also ensure that programmed activities involve and benefit both women and men and when feasible address the underlying, gender-based constraints in biodiversity conservation.
