Opportunity Information: Apply for NOAA OAR OWAQ 2017 2005122
The FY 2017 Joint Technology Transfer Initiative (JTTI) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Commerce through NOAA, specifically the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and its Office of Weather and Air Quality (OWAQ). The program is focused on applied research and development that can be transitioned into operational or mission-use settings, with this particular solicitation emphasizing improvements in convective-scale modeling and water prediction. In practical terms, it is looking for projects that help NOAA and its partners better represent and forecast high-impact weather processes at relatively fine spatial and temporal scales (the kinds of storms and precipitation systems where small-scale dynamics matter a lot), and that strengthen the ability to predict water-related outcomes over short to intermediate time horizons.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually signals more active involvement by the federal program office than a standard grant. That often means closer coordination with NOAA staff, shared technical direction, or a stronger emphasis on delivering usable outputs that can be integrated into existing modeling or forecasting workflows. The anticipated performance period is about 1 to 2 years, aligning with the solicitation language that calls for near-term advancement rather than long, open-ended basic research.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $300,000 per award and anticipates making about 13 awards. While actual award sizes can vary by project scope and negotiated budgets, the ceiling provides a clear upper bound for planning, and the expected number of awards suggests NOAA intended to support a portfolio of multiple efforts rather than a single large project. The program is categorized under Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology/Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 11.459, which is tied to NOAA research and related activities.
The funding opportunity number is NOAA OAR OWAQ 2017 2005122, and the title is "FY 2017 Joint Technology Transfer Initiative." The solicitation was created on November 15, 2016, with an original closing date of February 9, 2017. Eligibility is not limited to only one standard applicant class in the summary field; it is broadly indicated as "Others," with the note that applicants needed to consult the additional eligibility details in the full announcement. That type of eligibility framing commonly means the competition may be open to a mix of entities (for example, universities, nonprofits, private sector organizations, research institutes, or other specialized partners), but the definitive rule set would be in the complete notice.
Overall, the core purpose of the opportunity is to fund targeted, transition-oriented R&D that improves NOAA-relevant capabilities for convective-scale weather modeling and water prediction within a relatively short timeframe, using cooperative agreements to keep projects closely aligned with operational needs and technology transfer goals.Apply for NOAA OAR OWAQ 2017 2005122
