[LTER-im] January VWC and other reminders!

[Gregory Maurer]

Good morning IMs, and Happy New Year!



Our first Virtual Water Cooler of 2022 is coming this Monday, so please mark your calendars for January 10th at 3pm ET/12pm Pacific.


This month, the VWC will focus on site renewals and we will have a panel of four IMs that participated in their sites' proposal efforts in the 2019/2020 LTER renewal cohort. This is timely since the renewal solicitation has just (finally) been released<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nsf.gov%2Fpubs%2F2022%2Fnsf22543%2Fnsf22543.htm&data=04%7C01%7Cgmaurer%40nmsu.edu%7C6a33ea3bddfe479934f908d9c962bcc5%7Ca3ec87a89fb84158ba8ff11bace1ebaa%7C1%7C0%7C637762248181225267%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=8leTKg%2F60URW1vrmwzqDaA5FSAA2ILvf9lwF9vTSPok%3D&reserved=0>, and quite a few sites are up for renewal this year. Panelists will discuss preparation of Data Management Plans, dataset tables, and other pointers for making your site worthy of NSF's continued funding graces. Some people from EDI will also be on hand to address questions & concerns about getting dataset listings and other useful information out of PASTA. Agenda and connection info below.
