Developing candidates for NOAA and NOAA mission-related workforce
Providing post-secondary education and research capacity through competitive awards
There are four NOAA CSCs that advance education and collaborative research, as well as support students and build capacity in NOAA-mission sciences at Minority Serving Institutions. Each CSC is led by a Minority Serving Institution and partnered with a NOAA line office. Together, the CSCs include 24 university campuses.

Three Integrated Themes

- Innovative observations for advancing climate, weather, and air quality analysis and prediction.
- Interdisciplinary scientific research to support modeling and forecasting activities for building community resilience against extreme weather, water, atmospheric, and climate events.
- Integrated research in support of building public safety through Impact-Based Decision Support Services (IDSS).
NCAS-M II will support undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships that focus on the participation of students from traditionally underrepresented minority communities in NOAA’s mission-related scientific, management, and policy professional workforce.
