Unidata offers grants to support a variety of projects

Unidata is happy to announce the Community Equipment Award recipients for 2023. 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.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Atmospheric Science Program used a Unidata Community Equipment Awards grant to deploy a server that hosts, among other things, a local The Littlest JupyterHub instance. Since its deployment in August 2021, the server, data received through Unidata's IDD network, and the local JupyterHub instance have supported student training and development in four Atmospheric Science courses and through UW-Milwaukee's Innovative Weather student traineeship program.

The department of Geography & Meteorology at Valparaiso University used a 2021 Unidata Equipment Award grant to set up a departmental JupyterHub server, transforming the accessibility of their computing resources for students and greatly benefiting the overall academic experience within their meteorology program.

The Unidata Program Center is pleased to announce the opening of the 2022 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.

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.

We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that the 2022 Unidata Community Equipment Awards solicitation is open and accepting proposals. 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.
