How to Apply for Event Response

1. Scientists or management officials can initiate requests for assistance by sending an email to CSCOR HAB program staff at CSCOR.HAB_Event_Response@noaa.gov.
2. After an event is proposed to CSCOR staff members, the National Office and other members of the HAB community are consulted as necessary to determine a recommended course of action.
3. If the potential for event response support is determined, the applicant will be asked to submit a brief, formal request to CSCOR. A formal request should include the following:
   Description of the events/ impacts and need for urgency
   Intended response plan
   CV for the Principal Investigator
   Listing of managers and researchers involved
   Explanation of assistance/ support needed
   Brief budget and budget justification if funds are requested
4. Requirements also include reporting important preliminary results to CSCOR and submitting a brief, written final report. It is also the responsibility of the investigator receiving funds to notify the MERHAB program manager about publications resulting wholly or in part from Event Response funding.
