Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR CPO 2018 2005445
The Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) grant opportunity is a NOAA research funding program housed within the Department of Commerce that focuses on bridging climate and extreme weather science with real-world decision making. The central aim is to strengthen planning and preparedness across a wide range of socio-economic regions and sectors in the United States and in places abroad that affect U.S. interests. Rather than funding climate science in isolation, CSI emphasizes integrating scientific knowledge with stakeholder needs so communities, industries, and governments can better understand climate-related risks, identify vulnerabilities, and use practical tools that improve choices under a variable and changing climate. The long-term outcome NOAA is seeking is greater resilience in ecosystems, communities, and economies.
The opportunity is structured around three main portfolio-wide objectives. First, it supports innovative, practical, and transferable decision-support approaches, with a particular emphasis on improving risk characterization in the context of climate variability and climate change. Second, it seeks to build and sustain a network of regionally focused, long-duration efforts that can continually inform climate risk management and on-the-ground decisions, rather than one-off studies that end when the grant ends. Third, it prioritizes the movement of climate knowledge into use by promoting the transfer of tools, products, services, and applied research insights across NOAA, across other federal agencies, and to national and international partners. In other words, the program is as much about usability, partnerships, and adoption as it is about producing new research results.
CSI pursues these objectives through several interdisciplinary programs that connect researchers with decision makers. The broader CSI portfolio includes the Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessment (RISA) Program, the International Research and Applications Project (IRAP), the Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications program (COCA), and the Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP). RISA is designed to support research teams doing user-inspired, regionally relevant, interdisciplinary work that can inform resource management, planning, and public policy. IRAP focuses on linking climate science and assessments to practical risk management challenges in international or transboundary contexts where climate and weather influence U.S. interests. COCA funds applications research focused on climate variability and change in coastal communities and coastal and marine ecosystems, specifically to support decisions in those settings. SARP targets applied research tailored to the needs of specific stakeholder groups within key economic sectors such as water resources, agriculture, and health; however, the text notes that the FY18 SARP competition was published separately earlier and is not one of the competitions under this particular announcement.
This specific Federal Funding Opportunity states that three CSI programs are running competitions under it: RISA, COCA, and IRAP. The listed competition areas are RISA for the South Central Region, a COCA and RISA pilot focused on Coastal Climate Extension, and an IRAP competition centered on decision-support research related to climate-sensitive health risks. Across these competitions, NOAA is looking for projects that connect climate information to actionable decision processes, often through co-production with stakeholders, development or refinement of decision tools, and translation of climate knowledge into operational use. The work is also framed around the societal challenge areas in NOAA's Next-Generation Strategic Plan, including climate impacts on water resources, coastal resilience, sustainability of marine ecosystems, and changes in extremes of weather and climate.
The announcement also highlights CSI's role in NOAA's broader climate services ecosystem. CSI is described as an active partner helping make climate and weather information more relevant, accessible, and actionable. This partnership includes NOAA Regional Climate Services Directors, NOAA service line offices, and external partners such as RISA teams, Regional Climate Centers, State Climatologists, Sea Grant, and other U.S. government agencies. That context signals that competitive proposals are expected to align with service-oriented outcomes and to connect with existing regional or sectoral networks rather than operating in a silo.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement, reflecting NOAA's expectation of substantial involvement and collaboration during the project period rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity number is NOAA OAR CPO 2018 2005445 under CFDA 11.431, and the activity categories are environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, commercial organizations, international organizations, and state, local, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. Federal agencies are not typical applicants under this mechanism and are directed to contact the appropriate competition manager if they seek financial support. The listed closing date for applications was March 16, 2018, and the award ceiling shown is up to $1,000,000 per award.Apply for NOAA OAR CPO 2018 2005445
