Competition for the Management and Operation of the National Center for Atmospheric Research
The amount available under the next cooperative agreement will depend upon the availability of annual appropriations and on the performance of the awardee and NCAR. In FY 2016, NCAR’s base funding from NSF was $99,700,000. NCAR also receives additional funding from NSF and other sources for specific science programs, facilities and services. The annual amounts vary considerably, but in FY 2016 NCAR received $9,600,000 of additional NSF award funding, and $63,200,000 from other federal and non-federal sources. These non-base activities are not included in the anticipated award amount and should not be included in the proposal budget.
Inquiries and Contact Information
Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
