Climate Program Office (CPO) Adaptation Sciences Program FY2024

closed

The Adaptation Sciences (AdSci) program, an interdisciplinary research and engagement program, is housed in the NOAA Climate Program Office’s (CPO’s) Climate and Societal Interactions (CSI) Division. The AdSci program advances the knowledge, methods, and frameworks needed to move society beyond incremental adaptation toward more widespread, connected, and transformative adaptive pathways and resilience strategies with clear economic, social, cultural and environmental co-benefits. This work is conducted through a combination of dedicated partnerships that support capacity building and engagement activities, and competitive research awards designed to address key knowledge and information needs. Given the global complexities involved in climate impacts and society’s adaptive strategies, the AdSci program supports work both within and outside of the United States. AdSci has two core objectives: *Developing an understanding of key drivers and conditions that shape and enable adaptation across multiple temporal and spatial scales, in particular geographies and settings where this knowledge can be practically applied to efforts to reduce risk and enhance resilience in equitable ways; and *Identifying key aspects of and promoting opportunities for the use of scientific information to best support preparedness and planned adaptation of high value to social and economic goals. Learn more about AdSci at https://cpo.noaa.gov/AdSci. Through the FY24 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the AdSci Program is soliciting applications for two competitions: 1. Evidence-building, Evaluation and Learning Approaches to Support Adaptation to a Changing Climate 2. Developing a Social Science Research Agenda to Support Adaptation and Resilience
