Grant Description: The NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) invites applications for a Cooperative Institute (CI) that will focus on satellite studies related to weather and environmental analysis. The CI will focus on the themes of: (1) Satellite Meteorology Research and Applications; (2) Satellite Sensors and Techniques; (3) Environmental Models and Data Assimilation; and (4) Outreach and Education. The CI will be established at a research institution not only having an outstanding graduate degree program in NOAA-related sciences, but also expected to work closely with STAR's Advanced Satellite Products Branch currently located in Madison, WI, with seven federal employees. It is NOAA's intent to move these employees to the new CI as funding allows. The CI will provide significant coordination of resources among all non-governmental partners and will promote the involvement of students and post-doctoral scientists in NOAA-funded research. If the CI is comprised of multiple member institutions, NOAA will issue only one award to the lead institution which applied for the applied for the award and where the CI will be established.This announcement provides requirements for the proposed CI and includes details for the technical program, evaluation criteria, and competitive selection procedures. Applicants should review the CI Interim Handbook (available at www.nrc.noaa.gov/ci) prior to preparing a proposal for this announcement.
