Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR CPO 2022 2007019

The Climate Program Office (CPO), Regional Integrated Science and Assessments (RISA) FY2022 opportunity is a discretionary funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA, specifically within NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR). The program sits in CPO's Climate and Societal Interactions Division (CSI) and is built around the idea that climate science is most useful when it is developed and applied in ways that directly reflect regional realities and real-world decision needs. In practical terms, the opportunity supports interdisciplinary, regionally focused climate research and engagement efforts that help communities, businesses, and public agencies reduce vulnerability and risk by using climate knowledge, tools, and information in planning and operations.

A central theme of this opportunity is connecting innovative climate science to preparedness, adaptation, and resilience challenges that are complex, fast-changing, and shaped by human behavior and institutions. CSI has a long history of backing some of the earliest federal investments in regionally scaled climate work that crosses disciplines, including the social sciences, and that prioritizes stakeholder engagement rather than treating research as separate from use. The solicitation emphasizes "human-centered" research and engagement, meaning projects are expected to be shaped by the needs of people and organizations dealing with climate impacts, and to translate scientific advances into forms that can be used to make decisions about managing risk and building resilience.

The RISA Program is positioned as a key part of NOAA's broader research enterprise, which the notice describes as increasingly inclusive of partners beyond academia, including private-sector organizations, NGOs, and interdisciplinary teams. This signals that NOAA is looking for proposals that do more than produce academic outputs; it is also looking for collaborative approaches that can move climate information into practice, particularly at regional scales where climate impacts and vulnerabilities can look very different from one area to another.

The notice also highlights an organizational shift within CSI: the division is reorganizing to incorporate a new Adaptation Science Program (AdSci) alongside continued support for RISA. The stated purpose of this change is to streamline and expand NOAA's past investments and to more directly address emerging topics in adaptation science. In other words, NOAA is framing adaptation science as a growing priority area and positioning RISA as part of a broader, more integrated portfolio aimed at strengthening resilience outcomes over time.

From the administrative details provided, awards are made through grants and cooperative agreements, which typically indicates NOAA may anticipate varying levels of agency involvement depending on the project (cooperative agreements often involve more substantial federal collaboration than standard grants). The funding activity categories are listed as Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 11.431. The opportunity number is NOAA OAR CPO 2022 2007019. The posting was created on September 21, 2021, and the original application deadline was January 11, 2022. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $1,180,000, and NOAA anticipated making about 30 awards. Eligibility is summarized as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the opportunity's eligibility text, indicating that eligibility may extend beyond a narrow set of applicant types, potentially aligning with the program's emphasis on cross-sector and interdisciplinary partnerships.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as NOAA's effort to fund regionally grounded, decision-relevant climate work that blends research and engagement, strengthens the link between climate science and societal outcomes, and supports the evolving national focus on climate adaptation and resilience through the established RISA network and related adaptation science priorities.
