In a joint announcement, NOAA and NSF call for proposals focusing on advancing fundamental understanding of the communication of hurricane outlooks, forecasts, watches, and warnings both to decision makers (i.e., emergency managers, elected officials) and to the general public.  NOAA and NSF expect to have at least $2 million  available to support total award sizes (including indirect costs) not to exceed $400,000. This maximum is the total for the project, not a yearly maximum. Projects that exceed this maximum amount of $400,000 will be returned without review. Eligible research proposals must have at least one investigator from the social, behavioral, or economic sciences, and at least one from the physical sciences or engineering. Proposals that do not meet this requirement will be returned without review.

Limit on Number of Proposals per PI: 1

A social, behavioral, or economic scientist may appear as Principal Investigator (PI), co-PI, or other senior personnel on only one proposal submitted in Fiscal Year 2008 in response to this Program Solicitation. This limitation includes proposals submitted by a lead organization, any sub-award submitted as part of a proposal, or any non-lead collaborative proposal. This restriction applies to this solicitation only and is not meant to inhibit submissions of proposals by social science investigators to other NOAA or NSF activities or programs.
