OpportunityTitle: FY 11 Joint Hurricane Testbed
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants are institutions of higher   education; other nonprofits; commercial organizations; foreign   governments; organizations under the jurisdiction of foreign   governments; international organizations; state, local and Indian   tribal governments; and agencies. Applications will be competed against   each other. Proposals selected for funding from applicants will be   funded through a cooperative agreement as described in section II. C.   of the FFO announcement. Proposals from NOAA scientists selected for   funding shall be effected by an intra-agency fund transfer. Proposals   from a non-NOAA agency selected for funding will be funded through an   inter-agency transfer. Please Note: Before non-NOAA applicants may be   funded, they must demonstrate that they have legal authority to receive   funds from another agency in excess of their appropriation. The only   exception to this is governmental research facilities for awards issued   under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 44720(b). Because this announcement is   not proposing to procure goods or services from applicants, the Economy   Act (31 U.S.C. 1535) is not an appropriate legal basis.
Description: The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is soliciting Letters of Intent (LOIs) under the United States Weather Research Program (USWRP), as administrated by the USWRP Joint Hurricane Testbed (JHT). This notice also provides guidelines for the submission of full proposals. This notice describes opportunities and application procedures for the transfer of relevant research and technology advances into tropical cyclone analysis and forecast operations. This notice calls for researchers to submit proposals to test and evaluate, and modify if necessary, in a quasi-operational environment, their own scientific and technological research applications. Projects satisfying metrics for success and operational constraints may be selected for operational implementation by the operational center(s) after the completion of the JHT-funded work. The period of the award is from one to two years.
