OpportunityTitle: Climate Modeling: Simulating Climate at Regional Scale
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All types of domestic entities are eligible to apply, except other Federal agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31,  1995.
Description: The Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces interest in receiving applications for research grants on the topic of simulating climate at regional scales. Simulation of global and large-scale features of climate change has improved considerably over the past decade; however, climate models do not yet accurately simulate important features of regional climate variability and change. Applications should describe research projects supporting the development of climate models for getting high fidelity simulations of regional climate. High risk, high pay-off research ideas that explore innovative new directions are encouraged; they should clearly describe how the proposed ideas have the potential to lead to breakthroughs in modeling of climate at ultra-high spatial resolutions. In order to facilitate the review process in a timely manner and to determine conflicts-of- interests, Dr. Anjuli S. Bamzai, Program Manager, recommends submitting a title page and abstract via email to anjuli.bamzai@science.doe.gov. Please include in the subject line DE-PS02-09ER09-15 Abstract. This should be submitted by mid-April 2009, ahead of the full application submission deadline of April 27, 2009.
