During the 2008 Equipment Awards, consideration was given to proposals outlining plans to further the use of Unidata tools and systems (e.g., THREDDS, NetCDF, IDV, GIS connections) to support education and research on various aspects of climate (e.g., diagnostics, change and impacts), including upgrades to existing classroom and laboratory equipment or procurement of new computers to support climate studies.
Additionally, proposals to enhance participation and advancement of underrepresented populations, proposals submitted by investigators in Community and Baccalaureate colleges and minority serving institutions were encouraged. The primary purpose of this focus was to give the broader community access to Unidata tools and datasets that could be relevant to their teaching and research.
