The programis particularly interested in learninghow advanced climate information (e.g.,ENSO-based probabilistic climateforecasts), as well as an improvedunderstanding of current copingmechanisms, could be used for reducingvulnerability and providing for moreefficient adjustment to these variations.Notice of this program is included in theProgram Announcement for NOAA’sClimate and Global Change Program,which is published each spring in theFederal Register. The deadline forproposals to be considered in fiscal year1998 is expected to be in late summer1997.
