*Announcing:*
*The 2018 Unidata Community Equipment Awards Program*
*Sponsored by the National Science Foundation*
*Are you interested in participating in the Unidata program?*
*Do you need upgraded equipment to continue participating?*
*Do you have an innovative contribution to make to the Unidata community?*
*The Unidata Community Equipment Awards can help!*
Unidata is soliciting proposals for computer equipment purchases (including
cloud computing resources) from academic institutions engaged in teaching
and research in the geosciences.
- Awards of up to $20K will be made
- Proposals must be received at the Unidata Program Center by *March 8,
2019* to be considered
- Notifications of award status are expected to be made by May 2019
This year, special consideration will be given to proposals that include
one or more of the following:
- Projects that advance data-proximate analysis of large remote datasets
(e.g. GOES-R satellite data)
- Projects that facilitate the engagement of machine learning and
utilize data analytics
- Installation of equipment that provides student access to and use of
GOES-16 data
- Installation of equipment for the operational use of ensemble models
and the development of those models’ predictions to share with the broader
geoscience community
Proposals from minority-serving institutions also receive special
consideration.
Note that even if your project does not address one of the areas listed
above, it will still be considered! The goal of the Community Equipment
Awards program is to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary
backgrounds in the geosciences to join the Unidata community, and for
existing members to continue their active participation so as to enhance
the community process. Tell us how we can help.

We will also be at AGU in December and at AMS in January, so be sure to
visit the UCAR Community Programs (UCP) and Unidata booths with questions
about this program or any of our tools and data services!
