Infrastructure Cluster
NSF AGS Infrastructure Cluster supports facilities, community instrumentation, and data storage/provisioning that enable atmospheric and geospace science research, primarily for the research community and infrastructure operators.
⚑ Eligibility not stated in notice; this is an NSF infrastructure/facilities program rather than a general research grant. · Primarily supports facilities and data services, not investigator-initiated hypothesis-driven research.
