About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity, titled "Leveraging Uncrewed Systems Data for Climate Applications," is being offered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Program Office (CPO). The funding will support extramural research and projects that leverage uncrewed systems data to address urgent climate challenges and inform decisions for climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation. Key requirements include addressing NOAA's climate mission and societal challenges, and demonstrating how principles of diversity and inclusion will be incorporated. Letters of intent are due by September 18, 2024, and full applications by December 9, 2024.
The total anticipated funding is approximately $1.6 million, with most awards expected to range from $50,000 to $200,000 per year for up to 3 years. The funding opportunity falls under NOAA's Climate and Atmospheric Research grant program (CFDA 11.431), which supports a variety of climate science research, modeling, and application development projects. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofits, commercial organizations, international organizations, and state/local/tribal governments.
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 addressing 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.
