The geographic footprints for potential hosts of these CASCs are indicated in the map in Attachment A. The high-level climate science focus areas anticipated for these CASCs are described in Attachment C.2. Once selected, the recipient will be established as the Host Institution for the respective regional CASC. As a Host, an institution will be the sole entity eligible to receive funding to conduct follow-on research/science projects anticipated as a part of this Program Announcement. Host Institutions may engage with other institutions, including by subaward, as part of these projects.
