Science to oversee<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
research activities within CIRES, primarily at the David

environmental research institute established by a
cooperative agreement between<span

the University of Colorado Boulder and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Administration (NOAA). Approximately half of CIRES’
research portfolio is funded<span

through the cooperative agreement and involves work
directly in support of NOAA<span

and the NOAA mission. This work is carried out by
approximately 350 CIRES Research<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Associates and Professional Research Assistants at the
David Skaggs Research<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Center in Boulder, Colorado. Remaining research activities
are supported<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
primarily through federal grants from a wide range of
agencies (NASA, NSF, DOE,<span

etc.) as well as funds from various state, foundation, and
other sources. CIRES<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
also supports 20 University of Colorado Boulder faculty
