Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR CPO 2017 2005017
The NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) Program is a federal research funding opportunity designed to support interdisciplinary teams that produce practical, region-specific climate science and decision support. The central idea behind RISA is to fund research that is not only scientifically rigorous, but also clearly shaped by real-world user needs, meaning the work is expected to be informed by the questions and constraints faced by resource managers, planners, and policymakers. RISA teams operate as part of a broader national network across the United States and the Pacific Islands, and they are intended to serve as a model for how climate science, social science, and stakeholder engagement can be combined to generate usable assessments, tools, and guidance for public decisions.
The program sits within NOAA CPOs Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) division, which focuses on improving resilience and preparedness by applying climate knowledge in ways that help communities and sectors better understand risk, vulnerability, and response options. In practice, CSI-backed work aims to strengthen decision-making by advancing understanding of climate-related hazards and their impacts, and by supporting the development of products or approaches that make climate information easier to apply in planning and operations. RISA is one part of a larger CSI portfolio that also includes the International Research and Applications Project (IRAP), the Sectoral Applications Research Program (SARP), and the Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications (COCA) program, all of which share a common emphasis on linking climate information to real decisions.
A key feature of this opportunity is its connection to NOAAs broader effort to deliver integrated regional climate services. NOAA describes an ecosystem of partners that includes NOAA Regional Climate Services Directors, other NOAA offices, and external organizations such as existing RISA teams, Regional Climate Centers, State Climatologists, and Sea Grant. The goal of these partnerships is to make climate data and knowledge more relevant and accessible, starting with an assessment of regional needs and vulnerabilities and then supporting the delivery of timely climate services that inform adaptation and mitigation choices. In other words, the program is not just about generating research outputs; it is about ensuring those outputs are positioned to be used by the people making choices about infrastructure, water, coastal management, emergency preparedness, ecosystems, and economic activity.
NOAA frames the RISA and CSI work around major societal challenge areas highlighted in the agencys Next-Generation Strategic Plan. These include climate impacts on water resources, coasts and climate resilience, the sustainability of marine ecosystems, and changes in extremes of weather and climate. Applicants should expect that successful proposals will clearly connect their research and engagement activities to one or more of these themes, and will demonstrate how the teams work will translate into improved understanding, planning capability, or decision support for a specific region and set of stakeholders.
For the FY 2017 funding cycle described in this notice, NOAA planned two competitions aimed at establishing or supporting RISA teams in targeted geographies. Competition 1 focused on the Arizona and New Mexico region. Competition 2 focused on either the California and Nevada region or the Midwestern United States. NOAA anticipated making available roughly 3 to 3.5 million dollars over five years for each competition, subject to appropriations and final budget availability. Individual awards were expected to be funded at approximately 600,000 to 700,000 dollars per year for up to five years, reflecting a long-term cooperative effort rather than a short, single-project grant.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the Department of Commerce through NOAA as a discretionary funding opportunity, and the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement or collaboration with the agency compared with a standard grant. The opportunity falls under environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development categories, and is associated with CFDA number 11.431. The funding opportunity number was NOAA OAR CPO 2017 2005017. The notice was created on November 1, 2016, and the original closing date for submissions was February 6, 2017. The listed award ceiling was 700,000 dollars, and NOAA indicated an expectation of around 10 awards. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement materials, meaning applicants would need to review the detailed eligibility language in the official notice to confirm organizational fit.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an investment in sustained regional capacity: building teams that can combine climate science, stakeholder engagement, and applied research to deliver actionable knowledge and tools for managing climate risks and improving resilience. The RISA Information Sheet referenced by NOAA is intended to provide additional operational details about expectations, team structure, and program context beyond what is summarized in the notice.Apply for NOAA OAR CPO 2017 2005017
