Welcome to the new ESIP website!
25+ Years of Community-Driven Impact
By creating a home for Earth science data professionals across sectors and disciplines, ESIP empowers our community of volunteers and partner organizations to do together what they could not do alone.

Our Impact Reflects ESIP Values

Curiosity Impact
Innovative Ideas Funded
Through the ESIP Lab, we provide microfunding grants with a particular emphasis on learning new skills and experimenting with new ideas.
Unlike many funders, we don’t expect you to have all the answers. We value the process of finding those answers—and that’s what we fund.
The impact of microfunding is amplified, too. ESIP Lab pilot projects have gone on to earn more than $2M in funding from NSF, NASA, and NOAA.
Inclusivity Impact
Empowered Early-Career Professionals
We value diverse perspectives and work hard to develop them, not only in the ESIP community but across the broader earth science data and computing disciplines.
To dedicate space to emerging voices, we support students and early-career professionals through our Community Fellows and Raskin Scholarship Programs.

Openness Impact
Resources Freely Shared
Openness transforms science, and we’re committed to promoting the sharing of knowledge, resources, and tools.
Each year, our volunteer community participants share dozens of resources on figshare, where anyone in the scientific community can access them.
Collaboration Impact
Peers & Experts Brought Together
Collaboration is what we do—from monthly Collaboration Area telecons to twice-yearly ESIP Meetings and everything in between.
We’re proud to create the time and space for impactful collaboration, but we also know that the real impact of ESIP is what happens far beyond our own initiatives and events. It’s the knowledge shared, the connections made, the research ideas seeded, and the projects initiated as a result of ESIP-facilitated connections.
The bottom line? Our community drives our ultimate impact.

Integrity Impact
Built Trust in Earth Science Data
Integrity is the foundation for any successful collaboration. We’re proud of the work our community does to develop and share ethical practices for the stewardship of Earth science data, such as our ESIP Assembly Endorsed Guidelines.
By setting a standard for clear and meaningful citations, software, schema, and analytics, we establish credibility that extends far beyond the ESIP community.
