The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is inviting proposals for the FY2025 Weather Program Office Research Programs Announcement, which encompasses six distinct grant competitions aimed at enhancing weather, water, and earth system observing and forecasting applications. Eligible applicants include public and private entities, state and tribal governments, and partnerships, while federal agencies and their personnel are excluded from receiving funding but may participate as unpaid collaborators. This funding opportunity, with awards ranging from $100,000 to $200,000, is crucial for advancing research in areas such as social sciences, testbeds, observations, and air quality forecasting, with a submission deadline of November 15, 2024. Interested parties can direct inquiries to the designated contacts for each competition or reach out to oar.wpo.nofocompetition@noaa.gov for general questions.
