The primary purpose of the NSF Unidata Community Equipment Awards is to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the geosciences to join the NSF Unidata community, and for existing members to continue their active participation so as to enhance the community process.

Between 2003 and 2024, NSF Unidata has awarded $1,535,702 to 115 different projects at 66 colleges and universities through the Community Equipment Awards program.

Past equipment awards have funded projects including:

  • Installing or upgrading servers to ingest IDD data streams
  • Creating electronic map walls
  • Installing THREDDS Data Servers to make data available locally and regionally
  • Installing computing lab hardware to run visualization software such as AWIPS and IDV
  • Purchasing cloud computing resources for specific educational or research projects
