 Announcing:



 *The 2013 Unidata 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?*


   If so, you might be a good candidate for a Unidata Community
   Equipment Award!

 * Awards up to $20K will be made
 * Proposals must be received at the Unidata Program Center by March
   15, 2013 to be considered
 * Notifications of award status are expected to be made by May 2013


 This year, special consideration will be given to proposals that:

 * Include installation of a prototype AWIPS II standalone EDEX server
   and CAVE client, coupled with the Unidata LDM, to test data ingest
   and display both locally, and using the CAVE thin client to connect
   to remote servers.

 * Include installation of a standalone data server (preferably in the
   Eastern U.S.) running a suite of Unidata software packages including
   LDM, McIDAS, RAMADDA, THREDDS/TDS to ingest, decode, and serve data
   to the Unidata community.  The data served should include data from
   real-time IDD/LDM feeds and may include data from local
   observations, data from local modeling efforts, case study
   collections, and climate data.
