Active 11.462 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce B - Project Grants Not applicable. Meteorological Services to Aviation, 49 U.S.C. 44720
Weather Service Organic Act, 15 U.S.C. 313
Statutory authorities with NOAA and the National Weather Services allowing for collaborative research supported by this program Not applicable. No opportunities anticipated. Since the benefits of the overall program are for a reduction in loss of life and damage resulting from flooding and drought, and improved utilization of water supply and water dependent industries, benefits accrue from these projects to: (1) Federal agencies responsible to forecast, assess, manage, disperse, project economic conditions based on projections of water supply for agriculture and industry, and control water resources; (2) interstate commissions to control and allocate surface waters; (3) State agencies responsible for allocating and controlling water resources and for making projections for the use of water for industry and agriculture and for planning and developing infrastructure within the State that is impacted by rivers and lakes; (4) local agencies dependent on water for economic planning, emergency preparedness, and public water supply; (5) all businesses and industries depending all or in part upon surface water supplies or adequate water in lakes for recreation, in rivers to generate power, or in production or dispersion of products or who must take action in order to ameliorate damage during flood situations, (6) wildlife interests at all levels that are dependent upon water management for managing the environment; (7) homeowners or farmers who must plan for proper responses to flooding or inadequate water supply; and (8) academic institutions which are funded for programs dealing with the studies of hydrologic science. No future funding opportunities anticipated.

Renewal of an award to increase funding or extend the period of performance is at the sole discretion of the Department of Commerce. Selection criteria are announced within solicitations published in the Federal Register. Examples of criteria used in past solicitations included operational applicability, scientific merit, technology transfer and methodology, capability of researchers, and cost effectiveness. Funds can be used to support research and development on issues related to the forecasting of surface hydrologic conditions. Specific restrictions, other than those mandated for grants, are evaluated on an individual grant or program basis. The program office may support non-competitive awards by direction from legislative language or unsolicited projects that are individually qualified.
