  12. ASP Mission • Foster career development of young scientists • Promote continuing scientific education at NCAR • Focus on developing areas of science needing special emphasis • Facilitate interactions among NCAR and university scientists, especially those early in their career

  13. 3 to 12-month visits foster long-term meaningful collaborations travel, per diem, honorarium* 8 visits in FY07, including support for 2 NCAR scientists’ visits to U Hawaii & UCLA *non-NCAR fellows only Faculty Fellowship Program

  14. “The visit to NCAR not only enriched my knowledge base, it also provided direction for my own research. Through conversations with NCAR scientists about the Mexico City field data, I was able to gain an understanding of how modeling could help reveal the processes causing some interesting phenomena observed there.” William Vizuete University of Texas - San Antonio Faculty Fellowship Program Success Testimonial to the value and impact of the FFP

  15. ASP Graduate Student Visitor Program • New in 2006 • NCAR staff apply for student and advisor • 3-12 month visits • pursue thesis research

  16. NCAR Partnership with the IAI • Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research • 3-year NSF Award - $800K • Program Components: Colloquia at NCAR Support for Postdocs at NCAR Short Courses • Colloquium: September 11-22 2006 Policy Planning and Decision Making involving Climate Variability
