Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR OWAQ 2018 2005496
The FY 2018 Joint Technology Transfer Initiative (JTTI) is a competitive, discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Commerce, administered through NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), specifically the Office of Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ). The program is aimed at supporting applied research and development projects that can move new science, methods, and capabilities into operational use, especially where improved forecasting and environmental prediction will benefit public safety, economic activity, and decision-making.
This funding call focuses on four main technical areas. First, it seeks projects that advance data assimilation for convective-scale weather prediction, including the use of new observation types and improved assimilation techniques that can better capture rapidly evolving storms and severe weather environments. Second, it invites proposals that improve water prediction by enhancing the National Water Model, which is central to forecasting streamflow and hydrologic conditions and is used for flood-related decision support. Third, it supports efforts to improve daily to subseasonal prediction of Arctic sea ice, a challenging forecasting problem with growing relevance for marine operations, coastal communities, and climate-sensitive planning. Fourth, it includes work on communicating forecast uncertainty, recognizing that better predictions are only useful if uncertainty is clearly conveyed in ways that help users make informed choices.
The opportunity number is NOAA OAR OWAQ 2018 2005496, and it falls under the funding activity categories of environment, natural resources, science and technology, and other research and development. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 11.459. Awards are provided as grants, with an anticipated maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $200,000. NOAA expected to make about 10 awards under this competition, indicating a modestly sized program intended to fund a focused set of high-impact, transfer-ready projects rather than a large volume of small exploratory studies.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with applicants directed to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. In practice, opportunities described this way often allow a range of non-federal entities to apply, potentially including universities, nonprofit organizations, private firms, and other research-performing institutions, but the definitive criteria would be in the full notice.
Key dates for this announcement include a creation date of January 19, 2018, and an original application closing date of April 9, 2018. Overall, the JTTI FY 2018 solicitation is best understood as a targeted NOAA R&D investment meant to accelerate practical improvements in high-resolution weather prediction, national-scale hydrologic modeling, Arctic sea ice forecasting across short to subseasonal timeframes, and the real-world communication of forecast confidence and uncertainty.Apply for NOAA OAR OWAQ 2018 2005496
