In August 2024, NIDIS announced up to $4 million in funding for 8 two-year projects as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) NIDIS Coping with Drought: Understanding and Assessing Drought in a Changing Climate competition. This competition seeks projects focused on improving drought indicator performance to account for non-stationarity with the goal of more accurate drought assessments that support communities in preparing for, mitigating, and responding to drought.
This informational webinar will summarize at a high level the feedback on the Letters of Intent (LOIs) received and will provide another opportunity for interested parties to ask questions about the competition. A webinar recording and FAQ will be available on the Climate Program Office grants website as well as the NIDIS competition web page.
This is the second of two informational webinars. The first webinar will be held on Thursday, August 22, 2024 at 1 p.m. ET and will provide an overview of the competition.
