2010 Research Opportunities

RAPID Proposals for Analysis of Climate Model Simulations for the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report

U.S. CLIVAR has been working with NSF, NOAA, and NASA over the past 18 months to coordinate support of another (the first two focused on analysis of AR4 models and drought respectively) small-grants program to increase community-wide diagnostic research into the behavior of the current generation of coupled climate and earth system models used for future climate simulations and initialized climate predictions, particularly those from the CMIP5 coupled model runs for the fifth assessment of the IPCC. Click here for the full announcement.

As directed, please submit your proposal idea via email to Eric DeWeaver at NSF. Email proposals must be received by 5:00 pm, submitter's local time, Friday, November 12, 2010. Suggested maximum award will be $30,000.
