Opportunity Summary:
The Climate Program Office (CPO) FY 2014 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOAA-OAR-CPO-2014-2003692) is a competitive NOAA funding program aimed at improving how the United States understands, monitors, predicts, and responds to climate variability and long-term climate change. The core idea behind the announcement is that climate-related shifts and extremes create real-world risks with economic, public health, safety, and national security consequences, and that better science and better climate services are needed to help communities, ecosystems, and industries manage those risks. Through this opportunity, NOAA seeks proposals that strengthen the agency mission of "Science, Service, and Stewardship" and align with NOAA's Next Generation Strategic Plan focus on building resilience in ecosystems, communities, and economies.
The program emphasizes a full pipeline from foundational research to applied outcomes. It supports climate research, oceanic and atmospheric observations, modeling and prediction, data management and stewardship, climate assessments, interdisciplinary decision support research, outreach and education, and partnership-building with stakeholders. In practical terms, NOAA is looking to fund work that not only advances scientific understanding of the climate system, but also improves the tools, information products, and engagement approaches that help decision makers plan and act. The announcement also highlights NOAA's role in broader national and international climate efforts, including contributions to the U.S. Global Change Research Program and the National Climate Assessment, indicating that funded work may connect to large-scale assessment and synthesis activities.
The opportunity is guided by four long-term climate objectives from NOAA's strategic plan: (1) improving scientific understanding of the changing climate system and its impacts, (2) producing assessments of current and future climate states that identify impacts and inform decisions, (3) supporting mitigation and adaptation choices through sustained, reliable, and timely climate services, and (4) building a climate-literate public that understands vulnerabilities and can make informed decisions. Applicants are encouraged to design projects that connect clearly to one or more of these objectives, especially where the work helps translate climate knowledge into practical risk management and adaptation planning.
Within those objectives, CPO describes several core capability areas it aims to strengthen through funded projects. These include (a) climate understanding and modeling, (b) observing systems along with climate monitoring and data stewardship, (c) predictions and projections across relevant time scales, and (d) integrated service development and decision support. The expectation is that investments in these capabilities will improve NOAA's capacity to deliver dependable climate services. NOAA also identifies priority societal challenge areas where it wants these improved capabilities to be applied: climate impacts on water resources; coastal vulnerability and resilience; sustainability of marine ecosystems; changes in weather and climate extremes; and information relevant to climate change mitigation. Proposals that directly address these challenge areas, especially in ways that can inform planning, preparedness, and management decisions, are central to the intent of the announcement.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant program under CFDA 11.431 (Climate and Atmospheric Research). NOAA anticipated making roughly 100 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of about $11,000,000. Individual award sizes were expected to range from $50,000 (award floor) to $200,000 (award ceiling). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers barriers for many applicants and allows proposed budgets to focus on project needs rather than required applicant contributions.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public, nonprofit, academic, and private-sector organizations. Eligible applicants include federal-recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, and special district governments), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This breadth reflects NOAA's emphasis on partnerships and stakeholder engagement, and it allows for proposals that combine academic research strength, operational or service-delivery capacity, and on-the-ground decision needs.
Key dates in the published opportunity show it was posted on August 14, 2013, with an original and current closing date of November 14, 2013, and an archive date of December 14, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a direct contact: Diane Brown, CPO Grants Manager, reachable by phone at (301) 734-1206.
