This grant, the Collaborative Science, Technology, and Applied Research (CSTAR) Program, is purposed to facilitate a cost-effective transition of environmental research into NOAA/NWS operations. It promotes collaborative research between operational forecasters and academic institutions with environmental science expertise. The program engages researchers and students in applied studies crucial to the meteorological community, improving forecast and warning accuracy for environmental hazards. By integrating scientific knowledge into operational products and services, CSTAR contributes significantly to the U.S. Weather Research Program, aligning with NOAA’s Mission Goal to meet society’s needs for critical weather and water information.

| Description: | The CSTAR Program represents an NOAA/NWS effort to create a cost-effective transition from basic and applied research to operations and services through collaborative research between operational forecasters and academic institutions which have expertise in the environmental sciences. These activities will engage researchers and students in applied research of interest to the operational meteorological community and will improve the accuracy of forecasts and warnings of environmental hazards by applying scientific knowledge and information to operational products and services. The NOAA CSTAR Program is a contributing element of the U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP). NOAA’s program is designed to complement other agency contributions to that national effort. The CSTAR Program addresses NOAA’s Mission Goal 3–Serve society’s needs for weather and water information. |
