About
Created by NASA in 1998, ESIP was formed in response to a National Research Council recommendation calling for the involvement of community stakeholders in the development of NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) as a critical element of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. Since its inception, ESIP has continually grown and attracted a diverse group of partners, which now includes more than 120+ partner organizations. ESIP partners include federal data centers, government research laboratories, research universities, education resource providers, technology developers, and various nonprofit and commercial enterprises.
ESIP has developed substantial collaboration tools and infrastructure to support this work. We use these tools to facilitate connections across traditional boundaries—organizations, sectors, disciplines, systems and data—allowing our partners and participants to leverage their collective expertise and technical capacity to address common challenges related to Earth science data. Our initiatives and collaborations result in knowledge, and the development of standards and best practices that make data discoverable, accessible and usable by scientists, decision-makers and the public. ESIP’s status as a leading collaboration network has made it the go-to place to forge consensus on emerging data-related topics.
