Grant Description
Cooperative agreements to USA nonprofit and for-profit organizations, tribal governments, IHEs, and agencies for collaborative research projects on mitigating climate-related disasters through community engagement. Applicants are advised that it may take several weeks to complete required registrations.

Through this NOFO, the Climate and Adaptation Partnerships program in the Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) division of the Climate Program Office is soliciting applications for three competitions:

  1. Improving Engagement Methods for Coastal Resilience Planning
  2. Assessing Tradeoffs and Co-Benefits for Complex Decision-Making in Communities Facing Coastal Inundation and/or Inland Flooding
  3. Identifying Complex Interactions between Social Infrastructure and Wildfire Risks to Improve Community Adaptive Capacity

Proposals should incorporate the principles of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) into their applications. To do so, applicants should consider the following factors when developing their projects:

  • The vulnerabilities and disproportionate impacts of climate change on frontline communities including economically disadvantaged communities, historically marginalized communities, indigenous and tribal communities, and rural communities.
  • Communities, towns, or neighborhoods under-resourced and underserved by technical, financial, and/or human resources (e.g. communities too small to qualify for FEMA grants) to address climate risks and vulnerabilities.
  • The role of researchers and practitioners in carrying out work in ways that acknowledge existing legacies of social and environmental inequities and supporting actions that address them, including but not limited to the inclusion and compensation of frontline community members in setting project priorities.
  • Regional diversity expressed in the team structure, roles and responsibilities, team decision making approaches, institutional roles, and broader networks and partnerships.
  • Team contributions to a diverse, next-generation climate adaptation workforce through training, mentorship, education, and other means and by engaging with students and early career professionals.

For competition guidelines for the three competitions, see https://cpo.noaa.gov/Portals/0/Docs/RISA/NOAA-OAR-CPO-2023-2007771%20NOFO%20Report-Updated.pdf?ver=2023-01-12-153034-757#page=9.
