NICCR Midwestern Regional Center
Introduction

The National Institute for Climatic Change Research (NICCR) is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER). The goal of NICCR is to mobilize university researchers, from all regions of the country, in the support of the climatic change research objectives of BER.

The Midwestern Region will support work in the following states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.

The NICCR is soliciting a fourth call for proposals

Only proposals addressing one of the five focus areas will be considered for support in response to this notice.  The first four foci are associated with inland terrestrial ecosystems and will be administered by the four Regional Centers. The fifth focus is associated with coastal ecosystems and will be administered by the Coastal Center.  

Research addressing all foci should be directed at climatic changes possible during the next 50-100 years in the United States, and all research will be conducted within the United States. For more detailed information see the RFP-04 Notice.

Preproposals are REQUIRED.  Full proposals will only be accepted from applicants who: (1) submit a compliant preproposal on time and (2) are informed by NICCR that their preproposal was selected to be developed into a full proposal.
