About this opportunity
The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is offering a competitive research grant opportunity through its Climate Program Office (CPO) Fiscal Year 2025 Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) Program. This grant supports projects that aim to determine the processes governing atmospheric concentrations of trace gases and aerosols in the context of the Earth System. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations, international organizations, and state/local/tribal governments. Proposals will be evaluated based on their scientific and technical merit, project management, and how well they address principles of diversity and inclusion. Letters of Intent are due by September 18, 2024, and full applications are due by December 9, 2024.
The total funding available is for 8-10 awards, with each project budgeted for up to $250,000 per year over 2-3 years. The work under this grant is expected to be performed primarily in the United States and is part of the NOAA Climate and Atmospheric Research grant program (CFDA 11.431), which focuses on understanding and responding to climate variability and change.
Synopsis
CPO plays a critical role in advancing science and informing decisions for climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation as part of NOAA and the U.S. Global Change Research Program. CPO research/science programs and activities meet urgent climate challenges, and incubate innovative advancements in Earth system and social sciences; support world-class assessment reports, including the National Climate Assessment; enhance and expand NOAA's capabilities for integrated information systems for drought, heat and floods to deliver timely science-based information that can reduce the impacts and costs of these climate-driven challenges; educate and grow the next generation of experts in support of NOAA's climate mission. Through these new investments, CPO expands previous efforts focused on climate risks to address a suite of urgent climate-driven societal challenges faced by our Nation - including water availability and quality, marine and freshwater ecosystems, coastal changes and inundation, drought and extreme heat and related cascading hazards like wildfire, and air quality, and climate mitigation (more information about CPO Societal Challenges and Risks framework can be found here.
NOAA, OAR, and CPO require applicants and awardees to support the principles of diversity and inclusion when writing their proposals and performing their work; indeed, applicants will be evaluated, in part, on how well principles of diversity and inclusion are addressed. Diversity is defined as a collection of individual attributes that together help organizations achieve objectives. Inclusion is defined as a culture that connects each employee to the organization. Promoting diversity and inclusion improves creativity, productivity, and the vitality of the climate research community in which CPO engages.
