OpportunityTitle: Scientific Data Stewardship Project Office for 2009
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants are institutions of higher   education; other nonprofits; for profits; commercial organizations;   international organizations; state, local and Indian tribal   governments; and Federal agencies. Applications from non-Federal and   Federal applicants will be competed against each other. Please Note:   Before non-NOAA Federal applicants may be funded, they must demonstrate   that they have legal authority to receive funds from another Federal   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 Scientific Data Stewardship (SDS) Project seeks to support the development and stewardship of Climate Data Records (CDRs) for the atmosphere, cryosphere, oceans, and land surface. The Project follows the National Research Council&apos;s 2004 distinction between Fundamental and Thematic Climate Data Records, and is initially focused on Fundamental CDRs and lower complexity Thematic CDRs. The SDS Project is managed by NOAA, but is informed by other government agencies such that its results represent a government-wide contribution to climate change detection, assessment, understanding, adaptation and/or mitigation.
