The NOAA OAR Office and Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ) along with the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) are offering a research grant focused on understanding tornadoes in the southeastern U.S. This grant aims to advance meteorological and infrasound knowledge of tornadoes while also studying public responses to tornado forecasts. With an emphasis on tornadoes in tropical cyclone outer rainbands, this grant seeks proposals for meteorological or social/behavioral priorities and multi-discipline topics. The goal is to enhance our ability to forecast, warn, and mitigate the impact of tornadoes. Applications are open, with a closing date of April 12, 2018.

| Description: | This research funding opportunity is being jointly issued by the NOAA OAR Office and Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ) and the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL). It seeks to obtain new knowledge of the meteorological and infrasound aspects of tornadoes in the southeastern United States (U. S.) and the social and behavioral aspects of the public response to tornado forecasts and tornado events. This new knowledge will improve our ability to understand, forecast and warn the public of tornadoes and elicit appropriate responses to mitigate damage, injuries, and loss of life. For the first time in the life of the Program, this year VORTEX-SE places an emphasis on obtaining improved understanding of the processes at play that produce tornadoes in tropical cyclone outer rainbands, as well as during the tropical-extratropical transition over land. There will be three separate competitions with three funding pools from this announcement, two for VORTEX-SE (addressing 1) the meteorological or social/behavioral priorities and 2) multi-discipline topics addressing both meteorology and social/behavioral priorities), and one for the infrasound category. Proposals in each category will be separated into independent pools based on these focus areas as specified by the Principal Investigators for the purposes of peer review, ranking, and funding. |
