NOAA Climate Program Office Grant for Climate Research and Adaptation

The NOAA Climate Program Office is offering grants for climate research and adaptation initiatives to address societal challenges stemming from climate variability and change. The grants aim to support core capabilities such as understanding and modeling, observing systems, and predictions, as well as to tackle challenges like water resource impacts, coastal vulnerability, and marine ecosystem sustainability. Approximately $14.5 million is available for new awards in FY 2013, with funding levels ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 per year. Researchers are urged to align their proposals with NOAA’s Next Generation Strategic Plan and visit the CPO website for more information. Deadline for applications is Nov 16, 2012.

Description::	Climate variability and change present society with significant economic, health, safety, and national security challenges. NOAA advances scientific and technical programs to help society cope with, and adapt to, today’s variations in climate and to prepare for tomorrow’s. Toward this end, the agency conducts and supports climate research, observations, modeling, information management, assessments, interdisciplinary decision support research, outreach, education, and stakeholder partnership development. These investments are key to NOAA’s mission of “Science, Service, and Stewardship” and are guided by the agency’s vision to create and sustain enhanced resilience in ecosystems, communities, and economies, as described in NOAA’s Next Generation Strategic Plan (NGSP; http://www.ppi.noaa.gov/ngsp/). The NGSP outlines NOAA’s five-year climate objectives: 1) Improved scientific understanding of the changing climate system and its impacts; 2) Assessments of current and future states of the climate system that identify potential impacts and inform science, service, and stewardship decisions; 3) Mitigation and adaptation choices supported by sustained, reliable, and timely climate services; and 4) A climate-literate public that understands its vulnerabilities to a changing climate and makes informed decisions. Achieving the first of the NGSP climate objectives, an improved scientific understanding of the changing climate system and its impacts, requires a number of core capabilities be supported. These core capabilities can be broadly categorized to include: ” Understanding and modeling ” Observing systems, data stewardship, and climate monitoring ” Predictions and projections ” Integrated service development and decision supportThese core capabilities, in turn, will focus initially on the following societal challenges identified in the NGSP as early evidence of progress to be made by NOAA in providing sustained, reliable, and timely climate services:” Climate impacts on water resources” Vulnerability of coasts and their resilience to climate impacts” Sustainability of marine ecosystems” Changes in extremes of weather and climate” Information for mitigating climate changeEach of the Competitions announced in this Federal Funding Opportunity addresses one or more of these core capabilities or societal challenges. It is expected that applications submitted in response to this Opportunity will identify their relevance to NOAA’s climate science and services by indicating which core capabilities and/or societal challenges will be addressed by the proposed work. In this connection, application abstracts must include a paragraph describing the work’s relevance to the NGSP’s long-term goal of climate adaptation and mitigation and most especially the work’s relevance to the Competition being targeted.We estimate that $14.5 million will be available through this Announcement in FY 2013 for approximately 115 new awards pending budget appropriations. It is anticipated that most awards will be at a funding level between $50,000 and $200,000 per year, with some exceptions for larger awards. Investigators are highly encouraged to visit the CPO website http://www.cpo.noaa.gov/opportunities for information prior to submitting applications.
