The Hudson River Fund supports scientific research on all aspects of the Hudson River ecosystem, with emphasis on studies that bear on its human uses. The Foundation recognizes that people are integral to the ecosystem and is interested in research that can provide insights on the interaction of social, cultural, economic and biophysical systems, that can lead to improved decision making, management, or policy shifts to protect the Hudson River watershed.
We are currently seeking social science research proposals that focus on the multiple modes of human engagement necessary to address the complex social-ecological challenges faced by the Hudson and its connected watershed. This RFP emphasizes inquiry regarding the relationships and feedbacks among different stakeholders interacting with the Hudson River and its watershed, the associated impacts, and connections to decision making, management, or policy shifts.
