  HOWARD UNIVERSITY IS LEADING A TRANSFORMATION OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES; -- A DISCIPLINE WHERE MINORITIES WHO HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED, WILL BECOME ACKNOWLEDGED LEADERS IN THE FIELD. THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY PROGRAM IN ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE IN ITS RELATIVELY SHORT LIFE HAS PRODUCE 9 PH.D.S, AND TO MS, AND BASED ON CURRENT ENROLLMENT IS POISED OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS TO GRADUATE MORE THAN HALF THE NUMBER OF MINORITY PH.D.S THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCED NATIONALLY IN ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE OVER THE PAST DECADE. THIS SUCCESS IS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREVIOUS SUPPORT FROM NASA MINORITY UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AND EDUCATION PROGRAM (MURAD) AND THROUGH MORE RECENT PARTNERSHIP WITH NOAA. PRODUCING SCIENTIFIC LEADERS AND EXPERTS REQUIRES AN ADVANCE GRADUATE PROGRAM THAT ENGAGES STUDENTS IN RESEARCH ON THE VANGUARD OF THE DISCIPLINE. TO THAT END HOWARD HAS ASSEMBLED A CADRE OF TALENTED FACULTY WHO ARE ALREADY MAKING SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS FOR EXAMPLE IN THEIR LEADERSHIP OF INTERNATIONAL FIELD EXPERIMENTS IN WEST AFRICA TO STUDY THE GENESIS OF TROPICAL STORMS. THEY HAVE FOSTERED PRODUCTIVE RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS WITH NASA SCIENTISTS. THE WATER VAPOR VARIABILITY SATELLITE/SONDES (VAVES) FIELD EXPERIMENT THAT WAS CONDUCTED AT THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY BELTSVILLE CAMPUS BETWEEN 2006 AND 2008 IS ONE SUCH EXAMPLE. WAVES ACCOMPLISHED IMPORTANT SCIENCE FOR NASA IN TERMS OF AURA AND AIRS GROUND VALIDATION (AS EVIDENCED BY THE RESULTING PUBLICATIONS) WHILE ENGAGING NUMEROUS GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. IN IS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGH, YET ACHIEVABLE ASPIRATIONS THAT HOWARD UNIVERSITY PROPOSES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A GROUP 4 UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER (URC) AT THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY BELTSVILLE CAMPUS. THE MODEST ACHIEVEMENTS THAT HOWARD HAS MADE IN ATTEMPTING TO DIVERSITY THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE IS NOT SUSTAINABLE. URC WILL PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN HELPING HOWARD S UNIQUE PROGRAM TO ESTABLISH THE CAPACITY TO MAKE SUSTAINABLE RESEARCH CONTRIBUTIONS THAT ARE VALUABLE TO NASA SCIENCE MISSION DIRECTORATE (SMD) 10LLG~TERM GOALS, AND TO HELP PROVIDE A DIVERSE WELL-QUALIFIED WORKFORCE TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. THE PROPOSE URC WILL CONSIST OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GROUP OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY FACULTY IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH NASA/GSFC EARTH SCIENCES DIVISION, OTHER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENT LABORATORIES AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS. THE OVERALL MISSION OF THE NEW CENTER WILL BE TO: - ENGAGE IN BASIC RESEARCH WITH THE VIEW THAT THE RESULTING KNOWLEDGE WILL IMPROVE WEATHER, CLIMATE, AND AIR QUALITY PREDICTION THROUGH INTENSIVE AND LONG-TERM FIELD ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATIONS - TRAIN SCIENCE AND ACADEMIC LEADERS (MINORITY PH.D.S) WITH EMPHASIS ON UNDERSTANDING ATMOSPHERIC PROCESS THROUGH THE USE OF STATE-OF-THE-ART ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVING SYSTEMS AND ANALYTICAL METHODS - INSPIRE AND ENGAGE K-T2 AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS THROUGH SUSTAINABLE OUTREACH PROGRAMS - CONTRIBUTE TO NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE RESEARCH PROGRAMS AND NETWORKS DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSES OF CLIMATE AND REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE THROUGH REFERENCE OBSERVATIONS OF KEY STATE VARIABLES
