Mission

Unlike other NCAR programs or divisions, the Advanced Study Program (ASP) does not have primary responsibility for any special area of NCAR science. Instead, the ASP mission, broadly defined, is to help NCAR (and the scientific communities it serves) prepare for the future. We work in support of other NCAR units, with these objectives:

• to encourage the development of early-career scientists in fields related to atmospheric science;
• to direct attention to timely scientific areas needing special emphasis;
• to help organize new science initiatives;
• to support interactions with universities;
• to promote continuing education at NCAR.
