Opportunity Summary:
The Climate Program Office for FY 2009 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OAR CPO 2009 2001430) is a discretionary NOAA program designed to support research and related activities that advance NOAAs Climate Mission Goal: improving understanding of climate variability and change so society can plan for and respond to climate impacts. In practical terms, this opportunity targets work that strengthens long-term climate science and services by building a better predictive understanding of how the global climate system varies and changes over time, and by improving how that knowledge is applied in climate-sensitive sectors. The overall program emphasis spans the full chain from foundational science to usable outcomes, including process research, sustained and targeted observations, model development and evaluation, and applied activities such as climate applications and assessments that help translate scientific advances into decision-relevant information.
This opportunity is administered by the NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO), which has the coordinating role for climate activities across NOAA. That coordinating function matters because many NOAA climate efforts are distributed across different offices and disciplines; CPO aims to align and integrate those efforts in support of the agency-wide mission. The announcement also highlights that CPO partners broadly with federal, academic, private, and international research institutions and serves as a contributing element of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), signaling that proposals are expected to fit within a national climate science context and complement broader interagency priorities rather than operate in isolation.
Financially, NOAA estimated a total of $8,000,000 available under this announcement, with an expectation of about 94 awards. Funding is provided through either grants or cooperative agreements, which typically indicates that some projects may involve more substantial NOAA involvement or collaboration (common under cooperative agreements) depending on the nature of the work and program needs. The opportunity is categorized under Environment, Natural Resources, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA number 11.431 (Climate and Atmospheric Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower barriers for participation, especially for institutions that may not have flexible non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad across non-federal entities. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, other nonprofit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, international organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments. Federal agencies and federal institutions are explicitly not eligible to receive federal assistance under this notice, meaning they cannot be the direct recipient of an award even if they might collaborate in other ways. The announcement references an additional eligibility clarification field in the full text, so applicants would need to review the complete opportunity details to confirm any nuances such as allowable partnerships, subawards, or restrictions for particular competition areas.
The timeline for submission is clearly defined. The opportunity was posted and created on July 11, 2008, with full applications due by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on October 9, 2008. Letters of Intent (LOIs) were encouraged but not required; if submitted, they were due by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on August 11, 2008 and were to be emailed to the identified Competition Manager. The archive date is November 8, 2008, indicating when the listing was closed out in the system. Applicants were directed to use the "Full Opportunity" materials for complete competition descriptions and requirements, which is important because CPO announcements often contain multiple competitions or topic areas under a single umbrella notice, each with its own scientific focus and proposal instructions.
For assistance, the contact provided for difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically is Steve Drescher, Policy Advisor, reachable by phone at 301-713-0926. The listing also notes a separate category of help for application download issues, implying there were additional instructions in the full announcement for technical submission support.
