Opportunity Summary:
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funding opportunity titled "Climate Process and Modeling Teams" (Funding Opportunity Number 09-568; NSF Publication 09-568) is a discretionary grant program in the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. Its central purpose is to accelerate improvements in global coupled climate models and to reduce key uncertainties in climate projections by organizing collaborative teams that connect climate theory, observations, process studies, and large-scale modeling efforts. In practical terms, the program is built around the idea that persistent model weaknesses are best solved when theoreticians, field observationalists, process modelers, and major modeling centers work together on tightly defined scientific problems that directly limit model skill.
The opportunity emphasizes the Climate Process Modeling Team (CPT) concept, which focuses on bringing multiple parts of the climate science community into a coordinated effort aimed at the scientific bottlenecks facing climate models "today." Rather than supporting isolated projects, the CPT approach is oriented toward team-based problem solving that links real-world measurements and process understanding to model development and testing. The intended outcome is not only better representation of climate processes in models, but also faster translation of new scientific knowledge into the large, coupled modeling systems used for climate simulation and projection.
NSF anticipated making about 12 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding level of $2,500,000. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to any type of applicant organization, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the official solicitation text under "Additional Information on Eligibility." The associated CFDA program areas included 47.050 (Geosciences) and 47.078 (Polar Programs), signaling that relevant proposals could span core climate system research and also connect to polar climate processes where appropriate.
Key dates for the opportunity were tied to a single full proposal deadline. The solicitation was posted on July 13, 2009, and the full proposals were due on September 24, 2009 (with the original and current closing dates both listed as September 24, 2009). Applicants seeking the complete requirements and instructions were directed to NSF Publication 09-568 via the provided additional information link. For access issues related to the electronic announcement, NSF pointed applicants to Grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov, and also noted there was a contact option for problems linking to the funding announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): NSF Climate Process and Modeling Teams (09-568)
1) What is the name of this NSF funding opportunity?
