NCAR, an NSF Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), is acenter of excellence supporting the atmospheric, geospaceand broader Earth sciences communities. NCAR operates world-class observational facilities and computing infrastructure, conducts extensive in-house research, maintains vigorous programs of education, outreach, and the promotion of diversity, and cultivates extensive national and international collaborations. NCAR also carries out research and development on behalf of other organizations, most commonly other U.S. Government agencies. This work, which can only be undertaken if it supports the NCAR mission, currently accounts for approximately 30% of NCAR's total funding. The awardee will work closely with NSF and the university community to ensure that NCAR continues to support, sustain and advance the atmospheric, geospaceand related sciences, including the promotion of a diverse STEM workforce. The awardee will manage and develop the NCAR staff, buildings and facilities, and will promote an ambitious, coherent and inclusive program of research and education. A single award will be made as a cooperative agreement with a duration of five yearsbeginning on1 October 2018. NSF may renew the award for an additional five-year term, subject to availability of funds and the awardee's satisfactory performance,and incompliance with the National Science BoardStatement onRecompetition of Major Facilities(<a href="https://www.nsf.gov/nsb/publications/2015/NSBStatementRecompetitionFacilities_2015-11-19.pdf">NSB 2015-45</a> or successor).
