  • Equipment

    Equipment Award Grants

    Need gear?

    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 Earth Systems Sciences 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.
