Hello AWIPS Users, The 2025 NSF Unidata Community Survey is in progress, and we are seeking your help -- both by taking the survey yourself (if you have not done so already) and in sharing the survey with members of your own networks to help us capture additional critical insights and broaden our reach. The survey is brief and anonymous, and will help NSF Unidata to gain a deeper understanding of the priorities, aspirations, and challenges community members and organizations are facing. This in turn will help us better align our tools and services to support the community and advance the Earth Systems Sciences. You may have heard that the NSF Unidata Program recently experienced a funding gap as a result of a funding freeze by the U.S. National Science Foundation. We are happy to report that NSF has released our current funding increment, and that we have resumed our operations. We are mindful of the challenges that lie ahead. As we begin to plan for a future in which funders have fewer resources at their disposal, it is critically important that we understand the needs and interests of the broad Earth Systems Science community, so we know where to deploy our own resources in service of the community. We would be very appreciative if you could share the request the following via whatever forums, listservs, or other group messaging systems are used by your community. We suggest sharing the text below, but please feel free to incorporate your own thoughts: Whether you’re a longtime user or new to NSF Unidata services and capabilities, your voice plays a critical role in shaping how the program provides support to the Earth Systems Science community. This survey is designed to assess your top priorities, learn which types of data resources are most important to you, and understand the challenges that remain. The survey is anonymous and will take roughly 15 minutes to complete. Take the survey <https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/a26cce3978904a308cc8ee6572eb15d5> The survey will be open through June 20, 2025. After submitting your responses, you will have the opportunity to be entered into a drawing for one of 10 NSF Unidata swag bags. Swag bags will include an NSF Unidata lunchbox and other items such as a hat, cup, pens, or stickers. Together, we can ensure that NSF Unidata’s offerings evolve to meet the changing needs of the Earth Systems Science community. Your insights support community progress. Thank you for being part of this important process. Thank you for your continued support of NSF Unidata and your help in shaping our future! ~Tiffany Meyer -- Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer IV NSF Unidata
