Unidata is happy to announce the Community Equipment Award recipients for 2013. Five institutions received funding this year:
- Colorado State University
- Stony Brook University
- Texas A&M International University
- University of Miami
- University of Wisconsin at Madison
This year special consideration was given to proposals that:
- Include installation of either/both THREDDS Data Server and RAMADDA to share data relevant to furthering Unidata's mission with the community at-large. This includes but is not limited to data from real-time IDD/LDM feeds, local observations, data from local modeling efforts, case study collections, and climate data.
- Include installation of a prototype AWIPS II EDEX server, to share data relevant to furthering Unidata's mission with the community at-large.
For additional details on the proposals funded this year, see the 2013 Equipment Awards page.
We received a total of twelve responses to the 2013 RFP and funded six of them, partially or fully. (Two similar proposals from the University of Wisconsin at Madison were combined into a single coordinated proposal at the request of the review committee; the combined proposal was funded.)
We invite you to provide suggestions for the focus of future Equipment Award RFPs, and to keep your eyes open for the 2014 announcement. To get an idea of the wide range of recipient institutions and projects, including copies of successful proposals, visit the Equipment Awards page.
