"NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE ENVIRONMENT"
Expanded knowledge in diverse scientific disciplines is needed in natural resources and the environment to address important contemporary issues, not only for agriculture and forestry, but for society as a whole.

Initially, our project plan was submitted to the National Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program in mid-2000. The above is an excerpt from their statement. Tornado Fighters' primary objective in the project development is to stop tornadoes in its track. To accomplish this, we will need the support and financial backing of the U.S. Federal Government. Here's an excerpt from NOAA's website regarding their role:

"which promotes job creation, economic growth, sustainable development, and improved living standards for all Americans, by working in partnership with business, universities, communities, and workers. The Department's goals are to: build for the future and promote U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace, by strengthening and safeguarding the nation's economic infrastructure; keep America competitive with cutting-edge science and technology and an unrivaled information base; and, provide effective management and stewardship of our nations resources and assets to ensure sustainable economic opportunities. As a bureau within the Department, NOAA is an integral part of achieving this mission."
