Coping with Drought Research Competition
U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Research through the Coping with Drought competition assesses impacts of drought on agriculture, ecosystems, and water resources and develops decision support tools for regional, state, and local use. This research contributes to the understanding of how communities become aware of drought threats and how they can improve preparation and planning. The projects incorporate consultation with stakeholders, and focus on information that is most useful for decision-making to reduce vulnerability; models and tools that bring this information to decision makers; and strategies for improving NIDIS’ engagement with communities in preparedness.
Eligible Applicants: institutions of higher education, other nonprofits, commercial organizations, international organizations, and state, local and federally recognized tribal governments.
