Hello Unidata Community,
Did you know that NSF Unidata provides grants to help you purchase hardware
for projects that benefit your institution and the community at large?
Just a quick reminder that the deadline for the 2025 NSF
Unidata Community Equipment Awards Program is coming up on *March 28, 2025.*
As we do each year, we are soliciting proposals for funds to be used for
computer equipment purchases from academic institutions engaged in teaching
and research in the Earth Systems Sciences. For 2025, a total of $100,000
is available for awards; proposals for amounts up to $20,000 will be
considered. Proposals must be received at the NSF Unidata Program Center by
March 28, 2025 to be considered, with notifications of award status
expected to be made by May 2025.
Past equipment awards have funded projects including:
- Installing or upgrading servers to ingest IDD data streams
- Creating electronic map walls
- Installing THREDDS Data Servers to make data available locally and
regionally
- Installing computing lab hardware to run visualization software
such as AWIPS and IDV
- Purchasing cloud computing resources for specific educational or
research projects
The application process is designed to be easy and low-stress. For
additional information, including links to descriptions of proposals that
were funded in past years, start here: Call for Proposals: NSF Unidata 2025
