National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) provides the university science and teaching community with the tools, facilities, and support required to perform innovative research. Through NCAR, scientists gain access to high-performance computational and observational facilities, such as 'supercomputers', aircraft and radar - resources researchers need to improve human understanding of atmospheric and Earth system processes. NCAR and university scientists work together on research topics in atmospheric chemistry, climate, cloud physics and storms, weather hazards to aviation, and interactions between the sun and Earth.

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is one of 27 Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is a component of the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The mission of the NIEHS is to reduce the burden of human illness and disability, by understanding how the environment influences the development and progression of human disease. NIEHS’s broad focus on the environmental causes of disease makes the institute a unique part of the NIH.

National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS)
Following the passage of the NIDIS Act of 2006, The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) was established to develop an integrated drought monitoring and forecasting system at federal, state, and local levels. NIDIS's research goals focus on risk assessment, forecasting, and management. One of its primary projects is the U. S. Drought Portal, which is part of an interactive system to provide early warning about anticipated droughts, impact and risk assessments, planning tools, and drought historical data.

Seattle Public Utilities
Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) is the Seattle, Washington's water utility, and provides drinking water and wastewater treatment. SPU collaborates with the scientific community and water utilities locally, nationally, and internationally to enhance its knowledge of potential climate impacts and capacity to prepare. SPU has also strongly emphasized community engagement and equity issues through the creation of a variety of organizations and programs.
Organization
Second Nature
Second Nature is committed to accelerating climate action in, and through, higher education. This is done by mobilizing a diverse array of higher education institutions to act on bold climate commitments, to scale campus climate initiatives, and to create innovative climate solutions. Second Nature works to align, amplify, and bridge the sector’s efforts with other global leaders to advance urgent climate priorities.
Organization
National Science Foundation (NSF)
The NSF is the only federal agency whose mission includes support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, except for medical sciences. NSF is tasked with keeping the US at the leading edge of discovery in a wide range of scientific areas, from astronomy to geology to zoology. Unlike many other federal agencies, NSF does not hire researchers or directly operate our own laboratories or similar facilities. Instead, they support scientists, engineers and educators directly through their own home institutions (typically universities and colleges).
Organization
National Sea Grant College Program (Sea Grant)
The National Sea Grant College Program is a nationwide network (administered through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), of 32 university-based programs that work with coastal communities. Sea Grant engages this network of the nation's top universities in conducting scientific research, education, training, and extension projects designed to foster science-based decisions about the use and conservation of aquatic resources.
Organization
National Sea Grant Law Center
The National Sea Grant Law Center facilitates the development of new policies, institutional capacities, and management approaches to guide the preservation and use of coastal, ocean and Great Lakes resources. The Center provides legal research, outreach, and education on coastal development issues such as working waterfronts, recreation and tourism, resource use, and coastal access.
Organization
National Wildlife Federation
The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) is America's largest conservation organization, working with more than 4 million members, partners and supporters in communities across the country to protect and restore wildlife habitat, confront global warming and connect with nature. NWF works to improve federal and state policies that will support wildlife conservation on hundreds of millions of acres of public, tribal and private lands, including thousands of miles of streams, rivers, lakes and coastlines across America.
