Limited Submission Notice: DOE FY25 Climate Resilience Centers

Sponsor

Department of Energy (DOE)

Summary

This DOE Office of Science program in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) is interested in applications from the scientific community for Climate Resilience Centers (CRCs) that will improve the availability and utility of BER research, data, models, and capabilities to address climate resiliency, particularly by underrepresented or vulnerable communities. CRCs extend DOE climate science and research capacity by supporting non-R1 Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and non-R1 Emerging Research Institutions (ERIs) to address the needs for regional resilience; including new science to describe climate change induced impacts and recovery in natural, socioeconomic, and/or built systems and their intersections. CRCs also aim to foster capacity at regional and local scales by connecting with affected communities and stakeholders to translate basic research into actionable science to enhance climate resilience, as well as to identify research priorities for future DOE investments. 

For more information, view the full Climate Resilience Centers Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Award

$100,000 to $1,000,000 for up to three (3) years.
