NOAA’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program, through its FY23 competition, aimed to measure and model methane across various scales. Researchers were invited to address topics such as methane concentration trends, process modeling, urban methane quantification, Arctic methane dynamics, and improving monitoring of emissions. Out of 38 proposals, eight projects were awarded a total of $5.3 million in grants to advance this research.
CPO’s Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) Program is announcing seven new 3-year projects originally funded in Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23). The competitively selected projects total $1.2 million in FY23. These precipitation projects, motivated by NOAA’s Precipitation Prediction Grand Challenge (PPGC) strategic objectives, will help improve NOAA monitoring and modeling capabilities.
CPO’s Earth Radiation Budget (ERB), Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4), and Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) programs, in partnership with NESDIS STAR, are announcing four new 3-year projects originally funded in Fiscal Year (FY) 2023. The competitively-selected projects total $3 million in grant awards and aim to demonstrate the value of satellite observations in improving our understanding of cloud and aerosol properties.
MAPP, in collaboration with NIDIS, will fund seven innovative projects to enhance U.S. resilience to drought. These projects, funded for three years, will focus on addressing drought challenges across the southwestern U.S. at a critical time in the fight against worsening drought conditions due to climate change.
NOAA’s Climate Program Office announced a total annual award of $11.4 million in Fiscal Year 2023 funding to support 24 new, innovative, and impactful projects that will improve our nation’s resilience at a critical time in the fight against the climate crisis.
Over the next year, universities, other research institutions, and agency partners across the United States will conduct newly-funded projects in partnership with NOAA programs, laboratories, and research centers. CPO is committed to funding these awards for three years, conditional on appropriations.
CPO’s peer-reviewed competitive funding process ensures that proposals chosen to receive funding meet high standards of scientific rigor, quality, relevance to societal challenges, NOAA’s mission, and equity. Research inside and outside of NOAA is supported. These projects conducted by external partners expand the reach of NOAA’s mission and the frontiers of scientific inquiry. While CPO funds new projects each fiscal year, CPO continues to support multi-year initiatives funded in previous years.
