NSF Unidata Programs
NSF Unidata organizes a variety of programs aimed at bringing together and supporting the geosciences education and research community.
18 May to 31 July, 2026
The NSF Unidata Summer Internship program offers graduate students and upper-level undergrads an opportunity to work with NSF Unidata software engineers and scientists on projects drawn from a wide variety of areas that overlap atmospheric and computational sciences. NSF Unidata's mission is to support the Earth Systems Science research and education community with innovative data access, analysis, and visualization tools. Interns use, design, and/or modify existing NSF Unidata software in innovative ways to better support the NSF Unidata Community.
Applications are due by February 6, 2026

The NSF Unidata Community Equipment Award grants program provides resources for educational institutions to purchase computing equipment that will let them take advantage of NSF Unidata technologies for education and research. The goal is to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the geosciences to join the NSF Unidata community, and for existing members to continue their active participation so as to enhance the community process.
Several grants of up to $20,000 are awarded each year.
Proposals are due by March 27, 2026
Learn to use software and data
NSF Unidata offers technical support for all of the software it makes available to the education and research community. In addition, we offer a variety of learning experiences in partnership with academic institutions and scientific conferences.
NSF Unidata hosts a selection of freely available asynchronous learning materials on NSF Unidata eLearning and YouTube.
The NSF Unidata Science Gateway offers custom JupyterHub clusters deployed on top of the NSF Jetstream2 Cloud at no cost to researchers and educators in the Earth Systems Science community. In addition to enabling users to create and run their own interactive python notebooks, our JupyterHubs can be equipped to track one or many GitHub repositories to easily share content with your users.
