Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Montana's Funding Opportunity for Navigating the New Arctic
The Funding Opportunity for Navigating the New Arctic, supported by a Banking Institution, aims to position the Nation at the cutting edge of global science and engineering leadership. For Montana, this grant presents a unique opportunity to address the state's distinct challenges and opportunities in the context of Arctic research. The Montana Department of Commerce, in collaboration with the University of Montana, plays a crucial role in identifying and supporting priority outcomes that align with the state's economic development goals and research capabilities.
Addressing Montana's Specific Needs through Convergence Research
Montana's vast rural landscape and limited infrastructure in frontier counties create unique challenges for conducting research and implementing grant-funded projects. The state's priority outcomes for this grant opportunity focus on leveraging convergence research to address these challenges. By bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives, Montana aims to support research that can inform policy and decision-making at the state and regional levels. Key areas of focus include improving natural resource management, enhancing economic resilience in rural communities, and developing innovative solutions to the impacts of climate change on the state's agriculture, forestry, and tourism industries.
For instance, research on the impacts of Arctic climate change on Montana's agricultural sector could inform strategies for improving crop resilience and adapting farming practices to a changing climate. Similarly, studies on the effects of warming temperatures on the state's forestry industry could help identify new opportunities for sustainable forest management and wood products development. By prioritizing research that addresses these specific needs, Montana can maximize the benefits of the grant and drive meaningful economic and social outcomes.
The state's research institutions, including Montana State University and the University of Montana, have a strong track record of collaborating with federal agencies, private industry partners, and other stakeholders to advance research and development in key areas. By building on these existing partnerships and investing in convergence research, Montana can drive innovation and create new opportunities for small businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations across the state.
Applicants for this grant should be aware that the funder, a Banking Institution, has a strong interest in supporting projects that demonstrate potential for economic growth and job creation. As such, proposals that include partnerships with small businesses, entrepreneurs, or other private sector entities may be particularly competitive. In Montana, small business grants are a vital source of funding for entrepreneurs and business owners, and this grant opportunity can help support the development of new industries and job opportunities in the state.
Measuring Success in Montana

By monitoring these outcomes, the state can assess the effectiveness of the grant program and identify areas for improvement.
In addition to these metrics, the state will also be monitoring the impact of the grant on the state's nonprofit sector. Nonprofits play a vital role in Montana's social and economic fabric, and grants for nonprofits can help support the delivery of critical services and programs across the state.
