NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), through the USWRP Joint Hurricane Testbed (JHT), is offering this grant to advance tropical cyclone analysis and forecast operations. This grant is for researchers to submit proposals to test, evaluate, and potentially modify their scientific and technological applications in a quasi-operational setting. The goal is to facilitate the transfer of relevant research and technology into operational use. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, non-profits, commercial organizations, foreign and domestic government entities, and international organizations. Projects meeting specified metrics and operational constraints may be selected for operational implementation after the JHT-funded work concludes. Awards typically span one to two years.
