Grant Description

The Atmospheric Systems Research Program (ASR) in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division, Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports clouds, aerosol, and radiative transfer research that has the potential to improve the accuracy of regional and global climate models. ASR hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for grants that address an under-represented portfolio and opportunity within the program. For this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), priority will be given to applications that use or extend the new capabilities of the Recovery Act Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) instrumentation, address topics within the Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation Interactions area, and propose program relevant studies involving the recent/ongoing campaigns listed in the Supplementary Information section of this FOA.
