About this award
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), operated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), was awarded a $806,534 grant on June 15, 2023, to conduct research on diagnosing stratospheric climate processes using Aura MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder) observations and global chemistry-climate modeling. The research will be performed in Boulder, Colorado, with a completion target of June 14, 2026. This civilian research grant, funded through a Shared Services Center within the federal government, supports NCAR's core mission of advancing atmospheric and Earth system science through observational data integration and sophisticated computational modeling.
The award represents a continuation of NCAR's extensive portfolio of federally funded atmospheric research initiatives. As a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities operating as a federally funded research and development center, NCAR regularly executes grants and contracts with agencies including NASA, NOAA, and the National Science Foundation to advance climate science and weather prediction capabilities. This particular grant aligns with ongoing federal investments in understanding stratospheric processes and their role in broader climate dynamics, leveraging NCAR's specialized expertise in chemistry-climate modeling and high-performance computing to deliver critical scientific insights. The award does not utilize set-aside provisions and represents a straightforward research grant mechanism.
