Letters of intent LOIs are strongly encouraged.  LOIs  for all competitions should be received by email by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on August 17, 2020.  Full applications for all competitions must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, on November 30, 2020.
For the AC4 only competition [Emissions, Air Quality, and Heat in Urban Areas] the full applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time "on October 19, 2010" which I think is a typo and should be Oct. 19, 2020.

Climate variability and change present society with significant economic, health, safety, and security challenges. As part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climate portfolio within the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), the Climate Program Office (CPO) addresses these climate challenges by managing competitive research programs through which high-priority climate science, assessments, decision support research, outreach, education, and capacity-building activities are funded to advance our understanding of the Earth’s climate system, and to foster the application and use of this knowledge to improve the resilience of our Nation and its partners. Through this announcement, CPO is seeking applications for 6 individual competitions in FY21. 
Several of these competitions are relevant to high-priority climate risk areas CPO is organizing some of its activities around to improve science understanding and/or capabilities that result in user-driven outcomes in four initial risk areas:

  • Coastal Inundation,
  • Marine Ecosystems,
  • Water Resources and
  • Extreme Heat

The 6 competitions covered by this announcement are as follows:
*AC4: Emissions, Air Quality, and Heat in Urban Areas
*AC4 and COM: Atmospheric impacts due to changes in anthropogenic activity during the COVID-19 pandemic
*MAPP: New Climate Monitoring Approaches and Products for Areas of Climate Risk
*MAPP: Process-Oriented Diagnostics for NOAA Climate Model Improvement and Applications
*COM and CVP: Innovative Ocean Dataset/Product Analysis and Development for support of the NOAA Observing and Climate Modeling Communities
