Organization The Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) is a scientific research institute established in 1967 between the University of Colorado Boulder and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). CIRES maintains an interdisciplinary environment for research on the geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere. Institute scientists conduct environmental research that strengthens the scientific foundation upon which NOAA’s many services depend. CIRES’ long history of successful collaborations with NOAA allows coordinated studies on a scale that could not be addressed by university research units on their own. CIRES’ direction is provided through its Council of Fellows and an advisory Executive Committee. The Institute fosters interdisciplinary science through five centers that bridge traditional boundaries—the National Snow and Ice Data Center, the Center for Limnology, the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research, the Climate Diagnostics Center and the Earth Science and Observation Center. CIRES’ campus affiliation links NOAA to 11 university departments (see page 11). Communication is facilitated through the Fellows, Members’ Council, scientific retreats, research symposiums, regular town meetings, and outreach programs. Career progression and excellence are promoted through a career track and an outstanding employee recognition program.

CIRES is dedicated to fundamen- tal and interdisciplinary research targeted at all aspects of Earth system science, and to communicating these findings to the global scientific community, to decision makers, and to the public. search environment is fostered through graduate student research fellowship programs, a visiting faculty and postdoctoral program, an innovative research program and a distinguished lecture series. Advanced research tools are provided through an instrument design group, machine shop, glassblowing, numerical climate models and access to remote sensing and analytical instrumentation.

The 0.4largest portion of CIRES’ funding (48 percent) is provided by the Cooperative Agreement with 40,000,000 Facilities: 3% NOAA, and expenditures 0.2 in this category have increased every year for the last decade. CIRES researchers also have had continuing success in obtaining external research awards (45 30,000,000 Other research support: 12% percent of CIRES’ total funding). The University’s monetary contribution to CIRES primarily covers faculty salaries, and it varies with year-to-year fluctuations in the CIRES-affiliat- 20,000,000 Visiting Fellows: 29% ed University faculty appointments. Agreement expenditures by task for FY11 are shown in the top figure at right. Task I expenditures include CIRES administration and internal scientific programs, such as the Visiting Fellows and Graduate Student Fellowship programs. Task II provides partial funding for the National Snow and 10,000,000 Ice Data Center, the largest of CIRES’ five interdisciplinary 09-10 expenditures by task scientific centers. Task III funds CIRES’ collaboration with 09-10 task 1 base fund expenditures 09-10 task 1 base NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory, National Geophysical Data Center and Space Weather Prediction Center. CIRES Task 1 base and ICR-supported expenditures Task IV was created to serve as an efficient mechanism for the administration of NOAA research grants and awards, 09-10 task 1 base and icr supported expenses which would otherwise be stand-alone projects outside the Agreement, to CIRES researchers in fields aligned with Administration: 41% 08-09 expenditures by task 08-09 tas CIRES’ mission. Two Task IV projects have been awarded through our NOAA “shadow” award, NA08OAR4320914. Student support: 3% The largest share (56 percent) of Task I base funds support CIRES administration, primarily salaries and benefits for the Visiting Fellows: 7% administrative staff (middle figure at right). The Visiting Fellows program receives the second-largest share (29 percent) Facilities: 7% of Task I base fund support and is subsidized by other funding as well. Task I also provides partial support of CIRES’ Education and Outreach program, other research support and the physical plant facilities. Our NOAA Task I base funding is supplemented by CIRES’ portion of the University’s indirect cost recovery Outreach: 4% (ICR), which is distributed annually to University units as a Other proportion of indirect costs collected through researchers’ grants and awards (bottom figure at right). research support: 38% 0.4 0.2 0.0 Funding Task I: $3,692,368 11.5% Task IV: $653,378 2% WWA: $978,876 3% Task II: $397,463 1.5% expenditures by task 09-10 task 1 base fund expenditures 09-10 task 1 base and icr supported expenses Task III: $25,144,951 82% Administration: 56% CIRES Annual Report 2011 15
