Extramural Grant I: Collaborative Research and Outreach

The following proposal was funded by the National Science Foundation and the overall budget was $381,000. The project combines research in applied climatology with k-12 education. This funded project—which is part of a larger national GLOBE initiative—combines academic research, instrumentation, curriculum development, and k-12 outreach. Given the emphasis on STEM disciplines across society, research proposals that emphasize collaboration and outreach are inherently competitive.
