Task II Funding

Task II "non-base" funding, from NOAA through OU to CIMMS, and then to NSSL, ROC, SPC, NCDC, and SRH is used to support graduate research assistants, research associates, computer programmers, and technical staff. Scientific direction of these employees is provided jointly by OU and NOAA unit/CIMMS management. In the case of NSSL, these funds have traditionally been used by its Director to provide scientific and support staff to work in collaboration with NSSL base-funded scientists in direct support of NSSL's mission. Staff supported with these funds are OU employees.
