What the grant funds
NIST seeks applications from eligible applicants for the creation of an interdisciplinary Center of Excellence in Climate Measurements that coordinates activities to advance efforts to establish national standardization of methods and metrics for forecasting consequences of climate trends at scales important to communities across multiple geographies and over time. The Center will carry out research and will act as a convener and leader in this field of research by collaborating with NIST and other stakeholders to develop standard practices, methodologies, and tools that will assist communities in making quantitative predictions of climate-related effects on their communities.
