Do you know someone in the NSF Unidata community who has been actively involved and helpful to you and other NSF Unidata members? Perhaps this is someone who volunteers to assist others, contributes software, or makes suggestions that are generally useful for the community.
The NSF Unidata Users Committee invites you to submit nominations for the Russell L. DeSouza Award for Outstanding Community Service. This Community Service Award honors individuals whose energy, expertise, and active involvement enable the NSF Unidata Program to better serve the Earth Systems Sciences community. Honorees personify NSF Unidata's ideal of a community that shares ideas, data, and software through computing and networking technologies.
The NSF Unidata Users Committee will review the nominations and select the awardee, who will be invited to receive the award at the Fall 2025 Users Committee meeting in Boulder, Colorado. The recipient will be invited to give a presentation on their experiences with and use of Unidata data and tools.
To nominate someone for the DeSouza award, use the nomination form. Nominations must be received no later than 28 March 2025 to be considered for this year's honor.
For more on the DeSouza award, including a list of previous awardees and links to their recorded presentations, see the Russell L. DeSouza Award page.
