Climate Program Grants/Federal Funding Opportunities

NOAA Science Collaboration Program FY21 Funding Opportunity

Federal Agency Name(s): Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce

Notice of Funding Opportunity Title: NOAA Science Collaboration Program Competition, FY2021

Announcement Type: Initial

Notice of Funding Opportunity Number: NOAA-OAR-CPO-2021-2006797

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number: 11.431, Climate and Atmospheric Research

The NOAA Science Collaboration Program (NSCP) supports research, programs, projects and other activities related to NOAA’s mission, primarily through collaborations among scientists and professionals in areas of mutual interest across the full spectrum of NOAA sciences. This includes the support of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers and scientists with expertise in NOAA-related sciences. It is expected that some of the scientists will collaborate onsite at NOAA facilities and laboratories. Through this funding opportunity, NOAA is also interested in supporting complementary Earth systems research and modeling efforts, social science and interdisciplinary research efforts which can serve as a catalyst for collaborations between NOAA professionals and scientists supported through this program.

The total NOAA funding amount available for the NSCP is anticipated to be approximately $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 per year or a total of $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 for the five-year period. There will be appropriation of some funds at the start of the award. NOAA anticipates making one award for the five-year period and anticipates providing funds one or more times each year for five years. NOAA has no obligation to provide additional funding in connection with that award in subsequent years. Funding for each subsequent year of a multi-year proposal is at the discretion of NOAA and is subject to the availability of funds.

Program Priorities

NOAA expects the award recipient to address the following five priority areas:

  1. Identify, manage, and develop postdoctoral and visiting scientists with expertise across the full spectrum of NOAA-related sciences who will collaborate with NOAA professionals and other researchers either in NOAA facilities or in other research environments.
  2. Promote undergraduate and graduate exposure and participation in NOAA-related science through the development of innovative workshops and collaboration opportunities with professional researchers and scientists inside and outside of NOAA.
  3. Conduct research which improves the understanding and quantification of societal impacts of NOAA-related science and operations and determines methods for better communication of scientific results and findings.
  4. Conduct research to develop earth-system models which complement and serve as a catalyst for collaborative activities between NOAA scientists and early career and visiting scientists supported through the program.
  5. Develop and conduct integrated, interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations to produce usable and actionable science to inform, support, and otherwise improve weather, water and climate risk reduction and resilience.
