Description:

The aim of this session is to highlight funding opportunities available for atmospheric science research across NOAA and other federal agencies that would advance the weather and water enterprise. As high-impact weather phenomena continue to affect life, property, and the national economy, research remains critical. From instrumentation within the planetary boundary layer during severe weather or floating on the ocean surface in a tropical system, to knowledge transfer and advancing numerical weather prediction, research is the key to advancing science and technology - and securing funding is one of the essential parts of research. This session will serve as an opportunity to learn more about federal funding opportunities. Key information will include the frequency and cycles of funding opportunities, available funds, research priorities, and more. We encourage the submission of presentation abstracts from NOAA offices as well as other federal agencies (e.g. NSF, NASA) that would be interested in providing an overview of funding opportunities available through their programs, labs, or agencies for atmospheric science research.
