Description
This funding opportunity from the NOAA Climate Program Office’s Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program supports interdisciplinary teams that conduct applied research and build partnerships to address region-specific climate and weather-related risks. RISA teams work closely with decision-makers—including state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as private sector and community organizations—to improve preparedness, resilience, and long-term planning in the face of hazards such as flooding, extreme temperatures, water shortages, wildfires, and severe storms. The program aims to foster actionable science, integrate local and scientific knowledge, and scale solutions across nine designated U.S. regions.
