NOAA Collaborative Science, Technology, and Applied Research Program
invites proposals to create a cost-effective transition from basic and
applied research to operations and services through collaborative research
between operational forecasters and academic institutions that have expertise
in the environmental sciences. These activities will engage researchers and
students in applied research of interest to the operational meteorological
community and will improve the accuracy of forecasts and warnings of
environmental hazards by applying scientific knowledge and information to
operational products and services. Eligibility is limited to U.S.
institutions of higher education and federally funded educational
institutions such as the Naval Postgraduate School. Up to $750,000 may be
available in FY10 to support multiple awards. Proposals are due Oct 16. More

invites research proposals for its Harmful Algal Bloom Program. The
goal is to develop quantitative understanding of blooms and, where
applicable, their toxins in relation to the surrounding environment with the
intent of providing new information and tools, predictive models and
forecasts, and prevention strategies and to develop models of trophic
transfer of toxins, knowledge of biosynthesis and metabolism of toxins, and
assessment of impacts of toxins on higher trophic levels. Eligibility is
unrestricted domestically, with the exclusion of federal agencies. Proposals
are due Oct 14. More information regarding NOAA-NOS-NCCOS-2010-2002063 is
