NOAA Research to Operations (R2O) Initiative is a funding program from the NOAA Weather Program Office that supports research aimed at improving weather forecasts, saving lives, and reducing property damage. Projects funded through this initiative are intended to transition research findings into operational weather forecasts used by the public.
The program covers weather observations, air quality research, testbeds, severe storm research, and subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasting. Funded projects are accessible via SPARK, a public project directory, and REACH, a research output explorer. Researchers, universities, and other innovators in the weather enterprise are eligible to apply.
