FOA-Science Collaboration Program (NOAA-OAR-CPO-2021- 2006797); May 10, 2021

 

 

Agency

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - Department of Commerce (DOC)

 

Description

The goal of CPO's support of postdoctoral programs is to grow the pool of scientists qualified to advance scientific understanding and to transfer advances in climate science and climate prediction into climate-related decision framework(s) and decision tools. The program pairs early-career climate scientists with hosting institutions.   NOAA expects the award recipient to address the following five priority areas:

 

1.      Identify, manage, and develop postdoctoral and visiting scientists with expertise across the full spectrum of NOAA-related sciences who will collaborate with NOAA professionals and other researchers either in NOAA facilities or in other research environments.

2.      Promote undergraduate and graduate exposure and participation in NOAA-related science through the development of innovative workshops and collaboration opportunities with professional researchers and scientists inside and outside of NOAA.

3.      Conduct research which improves the understanding and quantification of societal impacts of NOAA-related science and operations and determines methods for better communication of scientific results and findings.

4.      Conduct research to develop earth-system models which complement and serve as a catalyst for collaborative activities between NOAA scientists and early career and visiting scientists supported through the program.

5.      Develop and conduct integrated, interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations to produce usable and actionable science to inform, support, and otherwise improve weather, water and climate risk reduction and resilience.

 

Applicants are encouraged to develop innovative methods to achieve these program priorities. We anticipate participation across numerous NOAA programs, offices, and scientific foci.
