DOE Announces $4.7 Million for Research and Development Partnership Pilots

New projects aim to position underrepresented academic institutions to make major scientific contributions in support of the U.S. Department of Energy’s science mission.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric System Research program advances process-level understanding of the key interactions among aerosols, clouds, precipitation, radiation, dynamics, and thermodynamics, with the ultimate goal of reducing the uncertainty in global and regional climate simulations and projections.
