The Office of Biological and Environmental Research
(BER) of the Office of
Science (SC), U. S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces interest in
receiving applications for research grants on the topic of simulating
climate
at
regional scales.
Simulation of global and large-scale features of climate change has
improved
considerably over the past decade; however, climate models do not yet
accurately simulate important features of regional climate variability and
change.
Applications should describe research projects supporting the
development of climate models for getting high fidelity simulations of
regional
climate.
High risk, high pay-off research ideas that explore innovative new
directions
are encouraged; they should clearly describe how the proposed ideas have
the
potential to lead to breakthroughs in modeling of climate at ultra-high
spatial
resolutions.
In order to facilitate the review process in a timely manner and to
determine
conflicts-of- interests, Dr. Anjuli S.
Bamzai, Program Manager, recommends
submitting a title page and abstract via email to
anjuli.bamzai@science.doe.gov.
Please include in the subject line
DE-PS02-09ER09-15 Abstract.
This should be submitted by mid-April 2009,
ahead
of the full application submission deadline of April 27,
200 9.
