Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences


Our Sponsors

As a cooperative institute, CIRES is sponsored both by the University of Colorado at Boulder [ About CU ] and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [ About NOAA ] . CIRES also receives funding from approximately 70 different sponsors. The chart below groups smaller funding sources, including NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the U.S. Geological Survey, SCION, AeroCorp, The Ohio State University, University of Texas, and many others into larger categories. These categories — "Other Federal Sponsors," "Non-Federal Sponsors," and "Other University Sponsors" — help us see possible changes in our research. The information used to create the chart is from data collected on received funding for the 2004-2005 University fiscal year through November 30, 2004.
