Let's share our story. Metrics reporting plays a crucial role in communicating our achievements and service contributions to the broader community. Per the cooperative agreement with NSF and our institutional commitment to accurately account to our sponsors, reviewers, peers and taxpayers, it is the responsibility of all NCAR staff members to contribute and update their metrics each year. While this takes time, it is an important activity. Staff metrics, for instance, are a significant part of our annual management report, and NSF pays attention!
Please work with your team to enter your FY 2017 (Oct 1, 2016 - Sept 30, 2017) metrics into the Metrics Database (https://www.ncar.ucar.edu/apps/metrics) by Friday, Oct. 27. This will ensure that your Staff Directory metrics and individual Activity Reports are current and our year-end reporting to NSF is accurate.
Please take a few minutes to enter your metrics if you have:
Served on a thesis committee
Served as a journal editor
Received an external award or honor
Contributed to K-12 activities
Mentored a colleague
Presented a poster or talk
Served on an external or internal committee
Gone on a collaborative staff leave greater than 2 weeks
Taught in a college classroom

Data about the accomplishments and contributions of you and your colleagues is essential information that we are proud and honored to share with our sponsors, peers and constituents. Thank you for taking valuable time from your busy schedule to contribute your data.
