Description
This opportunity from the NOAA Climate Program Office supports the Earth System Science and Services Partnership (ESSSP), funding research and activities that enhance understanding and prediction of changes in the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, coasts, land, and ice, and their effects on ecosystems, weather, hazards, and communities. The partnership emphasizes collaborative efforts in research, analysis, monitoring, modeling, service development, and stakeholder engagement. The program aims to address scientific priorities such as improved Earth system understanding, development of decision-support tools, workforce training, and robust evaluation methodologies. The ESSSP also includes a post-doctoral fellowship program to foster the next generation of NOAA-relevant researchers.
