NSF Unidata Users Committee
The NSF Unidata Users Committee, composed of academic institution members, is the primary mechanism for gaining scientific feedback on the effectiveness of the NSF Unidata Program. Appointments reflect the range of large and small colleges and universities with undergraduate and graduate emphases where NSF Unidata systems are in use.
The Users Committee meets a minimum of twice yearly and reports to the Strategic Advisory Committee; its members are appointed for three years. In addition, a Graduate Student representative to the Users Committee is appointed to a two year term.
The committee is charged with three tasks:
- Determining the attitudes of the user community toward the Unidata program;
- Soliciting suggestions for additions to the data streams and software products; and
- Facilitating the exchange of ideas among users on the Unidata Program and its systems.
