Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR CPO 2018 2005133

The Climate Program Office 2018 opportunity is a competitive NOAA grant program run under the Department of Commerce, within NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). Its core purpose is to strengthen the nations ability to understand, monitor, predict, and respond to climate variability and climate change by funding high-priority research and related activities. NOAA frames this work as essential to public safety, economic prosperity, and long-term resilience, and it aligns the program with the agencys broader mission of "Science, Service, and Stewardship." Through this funding, NOAA is looking to support projects that improve both the underlying climate science and the practical use of climate information in real decisions made by communities, businesses, and public agencies.

A central theme of the opportunity is building an integrated "end-to-end" climate research and applications enterprise. That means NOAA is not only interested in standalone scientific studies, but also in efforts that connect foundational science to usable products, services, and decision support. The program emphasizes linking observations and monitoring to research, modeling, prediction, information management, and communication, so that the results can be translated into reliable and timely climate information. In practice, this includes activities such as advancing observational systems, improving climate models and forecasts, developing tools and information systems, producing or supporting assessments, and conducting interdisciplinary decision-support research paired with outreach, education, engagement, and capacity building.

The Climate Program Office describes its work in terms of two reinforcing priorities: climate intelligence and climate resilience. Climate intelligence reflects the technical backbone of the program and includes five key capability areas: (1) observations and monitoring, (2) research that advances scientific understanding, (3) modeling and prediction, (4) communication, education, and engagement, and (5) climate and societal interactions. Climate resilience is the applied side of the portfolio, focused on meeting fast-growing demand for climate information that is trusted, transparent, and delivered in time to matter for planning and operations. Proposals are generally expected to support one or more of these capabilities while also showing how the work will help users manage risk and take informed action.

The opportunity highlights several mission-relevant challenge areas where NOAA wants progress. These include weather and climate extremes, climate impacts on water resources, coastal resilience in the face of climate stressors, sustainability of marine ecosystems, and changing atmospheric composition and its impacts. The overall intent is to integrate research and applications across these topics so NOAA and its partners can better anticipate impacts, reduce vulnerabilities, and seize opportunities that come with climate variability and long-term change. The program also notes that CPO-supported work occurs both within the United States and internationally, reflecting the global nature of climate processes and the value of international collaboration.

This funding opportunity also ties into larger national and international climate service efforts. CPO provides strategic guidance for NOAAs climate science and services programs and supports contributions to the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), including the National Climate Assessment. It also references coordination with international efforts such as the Global Framework for Climate Services. Applicants whose projects clearly complement or strengthen these broader assessment and service ecosystems are aligned with the programs stated direction, especially when they help move research toward operational or widely usable outcomes.

From an administrative perspective, this is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Instrument: Grant) under CFDA 11.431, categorized under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. The funding opportunity number is NOAA OAR CPO 2018 2005133. The listed award ceiling is $300,000, with an expected total of about 90 awards, indicating a relatively broad portfolio of projects rather than a small number of very large awards. The original closing date listed is 2017-09-25, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of 2017-05-15.

Eligibility is broad and includes institutions of higher education, other nonprofit organizations, commercial (for-profit) organizations, international organizations, and state, local, and Indian tribal governments. Federal agencies are not typical applicants through the same mechanism; the notice specifies that federal entities seeking financial support should contact the appropriate competition manager. Finally, NOAA, OAR, and CPO explicitly encourage applicants and awardees to incorporate diversity and inclusion principles in both proposal development and project execution, presenting this as a way to strengthen creativity, productivity, and the overall vitality of the research community.
