Grant Description

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) invites applications from research institutions to establish or continue Research Forums on atmospheric, climate, and ocean sciences. Applicants should provide a five-year grant proposal to support independent panels of multidisciplinary scientists in the atmospheric, climate, and ocean sciences. These panels are to be composed of the nationуs top experts and provide impartial research assessments, discussion forums (such as workshops), lecture series, and related education and outreach activities. NOAA is interested in supporting a recipient to routinely enlist the nationуs top experts in critical areas, including as atmospheric and climate science, as well as ocean studies, and undertake activities to disseminate information and share ideas, including convening experts to share their individual views in meetings and workshops and providing reports that represent the most authoritative source of scientific and technical information.
