Overview
SNAPP is a global collaboration between The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) advancing innovative, evidence-based, applied solutions to the most pressing conservation and sustainability challenges.
Since 2013, SNAPP has supported novel cross-sector teams composed of scientists, industry, government, nonprofit, Indigenous, and representatives of communities and mission-driven organizations to convene 2-3 times over the course of two years to advance applied synthesis research with the support of a dedicated Research Fellow, usually a postdoctoral researcher. SNAPP working groups receive the space and support to develop synthesis research solutions with practitioners, implementers, and communities involved from the start, ensuring that outcomes are created with a pathway to impact.
Each year, SNAPP provides up to US $1 million total across 4-6 approved working groups. Proposed working groups must be led by 2-3 Principal Investigators (PIs) from different organizations and sectors, and composed of 12-15 representatives of the full range of interested parties around a central research question, including local leadership.
