What the grant funds
NOAA's National Weather Service, Office of International Affairs is soliciting a proposal for an enhanced Pacific International Training Desk (PITD) in association with the Weather Forecast Office (WFO) Honolulu and Guam which will serve as a training fellowship program for meteorologists and observers from the South West Pacific Regional Association of the WMO. The primary mission of the desk is to provide basic meteorology training for qualified individuals from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHS) organizations in the Pacific Island Region. NOAA will review the proposal to ensure the applicant has the eligibility, expertise, and capability to continue operating the PITD for the region. There is a possibility that NOAA will have funding to consider enhanced operations for the PITD to further improve the training Desk to align with regional needs and priorities.
