Dear Colleagues,

Several AGS staff members will be attending the AMS centennial meeting next week.  We hope to see you, either at the AGS booth # 317, or in the hallways of Boston Convention Center.

I’m pleased to inform you that Dr. Subhashree (Shree) Mishra has been appointed the Lower Atmosphere Observing Facilities program director. In this capacity, she will be overseeing  a portfolio of multi-user national facilities sponsored by AGS for use by the research community.

I’m sharing a couple of NSF cross-directorate and a USAID funding opportunity that may be of interest (see below).  In the past, some AGS researchers have received supplemental funding to their awards via the PEER program.

Best wishes for 2020.
