Support the ESIP Lab
ESIP’s core values of Curiosity and Openness are showcased in the ESIP Lab, which provides small-grant funding opportunities for Earth science technology research projects.
Each project must outline a specific learning objective. So, rather than convincing funders that a proposal has all the answers already, the ESIP Lab looks at roadblocks that a small investment can help overcome. The ESIP Lab also provides a collaborative environment, access to tools and cloud resources, and support to innovate.
Can your company’s product help with the next breakthrough? Consider an in-kind sponsorship or funding an incubator project.
$100k
Total dollars granted through the ESIP Lab each year for pilot projects and FUNding Friday

Fund the Data Help Desk
Bringing people together is what ESIP does. The Data Help Desk specifically connects domain scientists and data experts to share knowledge, tools, and workflows.
We want to fully fund and expand this collaborative model:
- Pay for booths at relevant meetings
- Reach more Earth science domains
- Provide a digital knowledge base
- Establish a matchmaking and ticketing system for queries
The Data Help Desk has followed an event-to-event process. We want to make its resources available all year. Help make data matter by giving STEM professionals an entry point to the tools of the trade.
>20
Total Data Help Desks have taken place at conferences including AGU, EGU, AMS, and GSA.
100+
Volunteer experts in ESIP’s Slack answer data and software questions during and beyond events.
$2k-$5k
The average cost of a booth at most scientific conferences is one of the biggest program costs.
∑
The impact of the Data Help Desk is more than the sum of dollars or number of tools. Its power is connection.
Sponsorship makes a difference.
The ESIP community shares challenges and opportunities like moving data to the cloud, navigating commercial partnerships, and connecting with domain scientists and cultivating the next generation for our workforce. Help us innovate!
