Integrated Carbon Cycle Research Program (ICCR) Description The purpose of this Program Announcement is to solicit innovative proposals from U.S. academic institutions to conduct basic research into the scientific aspects of the global carbon cycle. Studies of the chemical, biological, ecological, and physical processes driving carbon distribution, transformation and transport within and between terrestrial, atmospheric, and oceanic environments are appropriate for this competition. The five topical foci of this Announcement include: (1) focused process studies, (2) drainage basin and ocean margin studies, (3) global modeling and empirical studies, (4) effects of climatic change and variability on the carbon cycle, and (5) data management and development of standards and methods. Target Dates and Deadlines October 22, 2003
