The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science is now accepting
applications for Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER)
research grants for the development of innovative laboratory and
observational data analyses. The resulting knowledge from such analyses
will be used to improve cloud and aerosol formulations in global climate
models.
Successful applications will be part of the Atmospheric System Research
(ASR) Program in the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD).
The mission of ASR, in partnership with the Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility, is to quantify the
interactions among aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, dynamics,
and thermodynamics to improve fundamental process-level understanding,
with the ultimate goal of reducing the uncertainty in global climate
simulations and projections.
Potential applicants are required to submit a brief preapplication,
referencing DE-FOA-0000556. Preapplications should consist of a PDF file
containing a maximum of two pages of narrative describing the research
objectives, the technical approach(es), and the proposed team members
and their expertise. Applicants for collaborative projects should submit
a single preapplication identifying all project participants.
Preapplications should be sent via email to ASR Program Manager Ashley
Williamson (Ashley.Williamson [at] science.doe.gov). Please include "[Lead PI
name] - Preapplication - DE-FOA-0000556" in the subject line of the
email. Only those preapplicants that receive notification from DOE
encouraging a formal application may submit full applications, which
will be due 6 September 2011.
Preapplication deadline: Friday, 15 July 2011 at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
