The NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) announced today that its Fiscal Year 2025 grant competitions are now open.
This year, CPO announced notices of funding opportunities for eight competitions to advance understanding of Earth’s climate system through interdisciplinary, integrated scientific research. The goals are to advance climate applications, tropical pacific studies, model- and projection-based research, as well as to improve instrumentation and evaluate climate mitigation strategies.
The competitions for this year include:
- Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program: Implementation of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) Equatorial Pacific EXperiment-East (TEPEX-E) Field Campaign
- Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program: Implementation of the Tropical Pacific Observing System (TPOS) Equatorial Pacific EXperiment-Central (TEPEX-C) Field Campaign
- Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) program: Climate Change Projections to 2050: Information for Industrial Applications
- Modeling, Analysis, Predictions and Projections (MAPP) program: Early Career Award for Exceptional Research in Earth System Model Development and Application
- Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle and Climate (AC4) program: Urban Atmosphere and the Impacts of Climate and Air Quality Mitigation Strategies
- National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) program: Coping with Drought: Understanding and Assessing Drought in a Changing Climate
- Earth Radiation Budget (ERB) program: Integrating Observations and Modeling in Support of Process Understanding Relevant to Solar Radiation Modification Research
- Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) Program, ERB and AC4 programs: Leveraging Uncrewed Systems Data for Climate Applications
Through its annual grant competitions, CPO seeks and funds innovative researchers across the nation to conduct cutting-edge research on a range of topics. The researchers eligible to apply include partners across NOAA as well as tribal nations and the broader academic, federal, international and private sector communities.
