Partnerships are integral to accomplishing NOAA’s mission. Working together, government, academia, and industry can produce greater benefits than working separately. NOAA successfully achieves its wide range of environment-focused missions through the support of a highly-skilled, passionate and diverse workforce, which includes federal employees, contractors, grantees, as well as dedicated volunteers.
Businesses, universities, and non-profits may all partner with NOAA to conduct research and development related to our mission. For companies or individuals looking for funding opportunities, please use the links at the bottom of this page to locate funding or contracting opportunities are currently available.
To enter into a CRADA with NOAA, you must first have a NOAA lab or program that is interested in collaborating. We recommend contacting a lab or program directly to discuss possible collaborations. Information on your local NOAA facilities can be found on the NOAA in Your State web page.
Note: NOAA does not accept unsolicited funding requests. Please use SAM.gov to locate open opportunities at NOAA and other federal agencies.
