NSF 24-134

September 24, 2024

Dear Colleagues:

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Research Cooperation. The NSF-UKRI MOU provides an overarching framework to encourage collaboration between U.S. and U.K. research communities and sets out the principles by which jointly supported activities might be developed. The MOU provides for a lead agency opportunity whereby a single collaborative proposal between U.S. and U.K. researchers may be submitted to either NSF or UKRI, as described in NSF 23-128 (“Dear Colleague Letter: U.S.-UK Research Collaboration under the NSF-UKRI/Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Lead Agency Opportunity”).

Under this Lead Agency Opportunity umbrella and through this Dear Colleague Letter (DCL), the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Division of Chemistry (NSF/MPS/CHE) and UKRI’s

Synopsis

AGS Infrastructure Cluster  

 

The Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS) Infrastructure Cluster (IC) is responsible for the oversight of facilities that enable research in the atmospheric and geospace sciences. The IC primarily oversees the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), but it also supports community-based instrumentation and facilities, and data storage and provisioning. 

 

NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) 

NCAR is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center in Boulder, Colorado. The Center is a focal point for atmospheric science research and runs eight laboratories that cover a breadth of research topics in Earth system science. AGS supports NCAR to provide the university community with world-class facilities and services that are beyond the reach of any individual university, such as sophisticated computer models, supercomputing, extensive data sets, and research aircraft. NCAR also supports and trains the next generation of Earth
