A federal pause on grant funding actions has placed who support some of the world's most critical atmospheric data in the Global Monitoring Lab (GML) housed at NOAA Boulder at risk of elimination. While federal funding for these positions has been approved, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget has not released these funds. Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder, CIRES and NOAA leadership are actively engaged at multiple levels to advocate for the release of these funds so the important work at GML can continue.Ìý

The Global Monitoring Lab is critical to the understanding of our Earth’s atmosphere and is a key component of the CIRES mission to conduct innovative research that advances our understanding of the Earth’s environment for the benefit of society. We remain committed to this work, which positively impacts human and our planet’s health, our nation’s competitiveness with other countries, and the local, state and U.S. economies.

These potentially impacted individuals will remain active employees with CIRES through at least May 15, at which time they will be placed on furlough if funding is not released. CIRES is providing resources and support to those employees during this time.
