OpportunityTitle: Hurricane Forecast Improvement Project
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants include all but government laboratories and organizations. This restriction is needed because the results of the collaboration are to be incorporated in processes which ensure multidisciplinary peer review as well as Federal review of scientific validity for use in operational warning and forecasting of tropical cyclones.
Description: 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.
