Climate Program Office FY2022

NOAA-OAR-CPO-2022-2006799

Climate variability and change present society with significant economic, health, safety, and security challenges. As part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climate portfolio within the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), the Climate Program Office (CPO) addresses these climate challenges by managing competitive research programs through which high-priority climate science, assessments, decision-support research, outreach, education, and capacity-building activities are funded to advance our understanding of the Earth’s climate system, and to foster the application and use of this knowledge to improve the resilience of our Nation and its partners. Through this announcement, CPO is seeking applications for eight individual competitions in FY22. Several of these competitions are relevant to four high-priority climate risk areas CPO is focusing on to improve science understanding and/or capabilities that result in user-driven outcomes: Coastal Inundation, Marine Ecosystems, Water Resources, and Extreme Heat.  NOAA, OAR, and CPO encourage applicants and awardees to support the principles of diversity and inclusion when writing their proposals and performing their work. Diversity is defined as a collection of individual attributes that together help organizations achieve objectives. 
 

In FY22, approximately $15 million will be available for approximately 90 new awards. Funding level between $50,000 and $300,000 per year with exceptions for larger awards.

Letters of intent (LOIs) for all competitions should be received by email by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 08/09/21.

Full applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on 10/18/21.
