The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), a department under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is offering this grant through the USWRP Joint Hurricane Testbed (JHT). This grant is specifically for the purpose of accelerating the transfer of advanced research and technology into operational tropical cyclone analysis and forecast procedures. Researchers are encouraged to submit Letters of Intent and subsequent full proposals to rigorously test, evaluate, and potentially modify their innovative scientific and technological applications within a quasi-operational environment. Successful projects that satisfy defined metrics and operational constraints may be selected for operational implementation by designated centers upon the completion of the JHT-funded work. Award periods for selected projects typically range from one to two years.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education; other nonprofits; commercial organizations; foreign governments; organizations under the jurisdiction of foreign governments; international organizations; state, local and Indian tribal governments; and agencies. Applications will be competed against each other. Proposals selected for funding from applicants will be funded through a cooperative agreement as described in section II. C. of the FFO announcement. Proposals from NOAA scientists selected for funding shall be effected by an intra-agency fund transfer. Proposals from a non-NOAA agency selected for funding will be funded through an inter-agency transfer. Please Note: Before non-NOAA applicants may be funded, they must demonstrate that they have legal authority to receive funds from another agency in excess of their appropriation. The only exception to this is governmental research facilities for awards issued under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 44720(b). Because this announcement is not proposing to procure goods or services from applicants, the Economy Act (31 U.S.C. 1535) is not an appropriate legal basis. |

| Description: | The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is soliciting Letters of Intent (LOIs) under the United States Weather Research Program (USWRP), as administrated by the USWRP Joint Hurricane Testbed (JHT). This notice also provides guidelines for the submission of full proposals. This notice describes opportunities and application procedures for the transfer of relevant research and technology advances into tropical cyclone analysis and forecast operations. This notice calls for researchers to submit proposals to test and evaluate, and modify if necessary, in a quasi-operational environment, their own scientific and technological research applications. Projects satisfying metrics for success and operational constraints may be selected for operational implementation by the operational center(s) after the completion of the JHT-funded work. The period of the award is from one to two years. |
