University Awards

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program supports many university-led and agency-led projects aimed at advancing climate science and research. These projects not only contribute to our understanding of the complexities of Earth's climate system but also foster collaboration between these institutions and the DOE to address pressing climate challenges.

The maps and list below highlight the research being conducted through projects that are currently funded by DOE BER.
