About This Grant
The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are funding a collaborative UK-US project. The aim is to incorporate new representations of key biological processes regulating ocean carbon storage into contrasting global models. This project is part of the BIO-Carbon and NASA's EXPORTS research programmes. Project leads and UK researchers must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding, and US researchers must be affiliated with a US institution. A Notification of Intent (NoI) is mandatory before a full application can be submitted.
