The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is soliciting proposals for the “Climate Model Comparative Assessment for DoD Infrastructure Applications” topic area.

 

Demonstration projects are sought to address infrastructure resilience needs for the Department of Defense (DoD). Specifically, proposals are sought for projects that will assess the currently available approaches regarding statistical and dynamical downscaling of climate-related data and that can be applied to the 6th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) climate model data for the purpose of informing DoD infrastructure planning.

 

Projects are needed that compare, contrast, and identify technical readiness and maturity of currently available state-of-the-science and engineering practice approaches that support infrastructure site planning and engineering design needs for DoD installations in the contiguous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii.

 

Researchers from federal organizations, universities, and private industry can apply for ESTCP funding. Pre-proposals are due March 4, 2021, prior to 2:00 p.m. ET.
