Our supporters fund data management and scientific research at
the project level. For example, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) supports the NSIDC Distributed Active Archive
Center (DAAC) and funds the production and distribution of remote-sensing
data sets. The National Science Foundation (NSF) provides data
management for scientists doing polar research. The National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides support for management
of NOAA data sets at NSIDC and has funded many of the center's
data-rescue activities.
NASA, NOAA and NSF, as well as additional sources of funding,
support NSIDC scientists and outreach activities through competitive
grants and contracts
NSIDC is part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental
Sciences (CIRES) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The
University and CIRES provide a collaborative environment and support
for our research. |
