The primary purpose of
the Unidata Community Equipment Awards 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. We will accept equipment
proposals from academic institutions engaged in teaching and
research in the geosciences for the deployment of
Unidata-supported systems.
It is the intent of this award program to assist institutions wishing to participate actively in the Unidata community; to assist those who have participated actively in the past but need system upgrades to meet the standards currently recommended for deploying Unidata systems; and to assist organizations from disciplines outside of the atmospheric community who can provide and support important and relevant datasets and tools to the Unidata community at no cost.
Small institutions, institutions that have not previously submitted proposals to this program, and institutions outside Unidata's traditional atmospheric sciences community are especially encouraged to apply.
