NWS International Capacity Development for Weather and Climate Observations and Forecasting and Disaster Risk Reduction | November 29, 2024

**Some programs are limited. Please read solicitations carefully and consult your Office of Research for specifics, such as limited applications through your university and internal application deadlines.**

NOAA's National Weather Service, Office of International Affairs is soliciting proposals for International Capacity Development for Weather and Climate Forecasting and Disaster Risk Reduction (ICD-WCFDRR). The ICD-WCFDRR program's goal is to improve the capacity of operational National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) organizations worldwide to implement end-to-end early warning systems. Improving NMHS capacity for weather and climate-based early warning systems is done through collaboration between operational meteorologists, climatologists, hydrologists, and researchers in the development and implementation of innovative programs that will improve weather and climate-based early warning systems in developing countries.

Applications should include information that demonstrates an applicant's knowledge of the current status of and meet the technical and programmatic development and implementation requirements, including the structured and intense training programs related to Famine Early Warning System (FEWSNET), 3-D Printed Automatic Weather Stations (3D-PAWS), Impact-based forecasting, storm surge forecasting, and other objectives as discussed in the Program Objectives Section.

Application Deadline: November 29, 2024
