Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today announced that the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor will receive $7,469,137 in grant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for projects including molecular and cellular bioscience, computing and communication foundations, behavioral and cognitive science, and more.

$1,794,617 of this funding will be dedicated to atmospheric and geospace science through a project titled, "Collaborative Research: Enabling Cloud-Permitting and Coupled Climate Modeling via Nonhydrostatic Extensions of the CESM Spectral Element Dynamical Core."

“This funding for the University of Michigan will be used to further research on the weather-climate interface, helping us to better understand the science behind storms and how we can best prepare for them while also providing support to those who may have been disproportionally affected," said Dingell.
