Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project: The Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project (HFIP) is a NOAA initiative to engage and coordinate hurricane research required to improve operational hurricane forecasts. HFIP is soliciting proposals to support academia for projects involving applied hurricane science and/or hurricane modeling that demonstrates potential to transition into operational hurricane systems with the goal of improving operational hurricane guidance. This notice provides guidelines for submission of proposals. This notice also describes opportunities and application procedures to facilitate the transfer of relevant applied science and technology advancements and hurricane model advancements into operational hurricane numerical weather prediction (NWP) analyses and forecasts. The HFIP Program addresses NOAA?s Strategy Execution and Evaluation (SEE)/Weather Ready Nation.
