Climate Program Office FY2025 Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program: TEPEX-C

ID: NOAA-OAR-CPO-2025-27999 • Type: Posted

Description

CPO plays a critical role in advancing science and informing decisions for climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation as part of NOAA and the U.S. Global Change Research Program. CPO research/science programs and activities meet urgent climate challenges, and incubate innovative advancements in Earth system and social sciences; support world-class assessment reports, including the National Climate Assessment; enhance and expand NOAA's capabilities for integrated information systems for drought, heat and floods to deliver timely science-based information that can reduce the impacts and costs of these climate-driven challenges; educate and grow the next generation of experts in support of NOAA's climate mission. Through these new investments, CPO expands previous efforts focused on climate risks to address a suite of urgent climate-driven societal challenges faced by our Nation including water availability and quality, marine and freshwater ecosystems, coastal changes and inundation, drought and extreme heat and related cascading hazards like wildfire, and air quality, and climate mitigation (more information about CPO Societal Challenges and Risks framework can be found here.

NOAA, OAR, and CPO require applicants and awardees to support the principles of diversity and inclusion when writing their proposals and performing their work; indeed, applicants will be evaluated, in part, on how well principles of diversity and inclusion are addressed. Diversity is defined as a collection of individual attributes that together help organizations achieve objectives. Inclusion is defined as a culture that connects each employee to the organization. Promoting diversity and inclusion improves creativity, productivity, and the vitality of the climate research community in which CPO engages.

Background
The Climate Program Office (CPO) of NOAA plays a critical role in advancing science and informing decisions for climate adaptation, resilience, and mitigation as part of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. CPO's mission includes addressing urgent climate challenges through innovative advancements in Earth system and social sciences. This includes supporting world-class assessment reports like the National Climate Assessment and enhancing NOAA’s capabilities for integrated information systems to deliver timely science-based information.

The FY2025 Climate Variability and Predictability (CVP) Program: TEPEX-C aims to expand previous efforts focused on climate risks to address urgent societal challenges related to water availability, ecosystems, coastal changes, droughts, extreme heat, and air quality.

Grant Details
