NOAA’s Climate Program Office (CPO) is announcing the Federal Funding Opportunity for Fiscal Year 2015. Pending final budget appropriations, CPO expects approximately $15.5 million will be available through the announcement, and anticipates nearly 100 new awards between $50,000 to $200,000 each, with multi-year RISA awards ranging from $600,000 to $700,000 per year.
CPO supports competitive research through four major programs: Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM); Earth System Science (ESS); Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP); and Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI). Through this Announcement, CPO’s programs are seeking applications for 10 specified competitions in FY 2015.
This year’s competitions continue critical ongoing activities in climate science and services, such as providing leadership on decision support research and assessments, as well as modeling and atmospheric composition. In FY15, CPO is also offering two separate competitions focused on the Arctic, which marks a new emphasis on collaboration between scientific disciplines.
