The NSF Unidata Users Committee has decided to extend the deadline for the 2024 Equipment Awards solicitation until April 12, 2024. Institutions who submitted proposals by the original March 29 deadline are invited to amend their proposals and resubmit if they feel they would benefit from the extra preparation time. All other aspects of the 2024 program remain as described in the original announcement.
As a result of changes in the spring 2024 meeting schedule for the NSF Unidata Users Committee, we are able to extend the submission deadline for this year's Community Equipment Awards solicitation until March 29, 2024. All other aspects of the 2024 program remain as described in the original announcement.

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.
