About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity, titled "Understanding and Assessing drought in a Changing Climate (NIDIS)", is being offered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through its Climate and Atmospheric Research (CFDA 11.431) program. The grant aims to improve drought indicator performance to account for non-stationarity, with the goal of more accurate drought assessments that support communities in preparing for, mitigating, and responding to drought. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, non-profits, commercial organizations, international organizations, and state/local/tribal governments. Letters of intent are due by September 18, 2024, and full applications by December 9, 2024. Applicants will be evaluated in part on how well they address principles of diversity and inclusion.
Approximately $2 million in funding will be available in FY25 for around 8 new awards, with most awards expected to be between $50,000 and $250,000 per year over 2 years. Awards are anticipated to start in summer 2025. The program is part of the Climate and Atmospheric Research grant program (CFDA 11.431) administered by the Department of Commerce.
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.
