Reminder: Unidata 2023 Community Equipment Awards Call for Proposals

Equipment Awards
Unidata offers computer equipment grants to support a variety of projects

The Unidata Program Center is pleased to announce the opening of the 2023 Unidata Community Equipment Awards solicitation. Created under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, Unidata equipment awards are intended to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the geosciences to join the Unidata community, and to encourage existing members to continue their active participation, enhancing the community process. For 2023, a total of $100,000 is available for awards; proposals for amounts up to $20,000 will be considered.


Reminder: Proposals for the 2023 Awards are due March 17, 2023.

Past recipients of Unidata equipment awards have used the grants to procure equipment for data sharing, to create interactive data visualization laboratories, and to encourage the use of Unidata software packages in research and education. The proposal process is designed to be as low-impact as possible, with just a few required elements. You can view previously accepted proposals, and take advantage of a short proposal template if you choose. Staff at the Unidata Program Center are happy to help you define the hardware requirements for your project or answer any other questions you may have while preparing a proposal.

It's easy to apply for an Equipment Award, and the proposal requirements are minimal. See this quick video explanation on Unidata's YouTube channel for details.

Note:
In keeping with Unidata's most recent proposal to the National Science Foundation for continued program funding, additional emphasis will be placed on providing support for institutions serving populations that are underrepresented in the broad geoscience community. Unidata is dedicated to broadening participation by minority serving institutions, and we particularly encourage small institutions, academic departments that have not previously submitted proposals to this program, and programs outside Unidata's traditional atmospheric sciences community to apply.

The deadline for submitting proposals is March 17, 2023. The Unidata Program Center expects to notify submitters of award status by May 2023. For a complete description of the Unidata Community Equipment Awards program, the proposal format, and the proposal review criteria, see the Call for Proposals.
