At the core of our work at NSF NCAR and UCAR are the values that underlie our institutional culture: scientific integrity, collaboration and partnerships, innovation and agility, transparency and open access, and fiscal accountability.

These values also shape the core of our ethics: both institutional and individual. As a publicly supported organization, UCAR is charged with the public trust. We must commit ourselves to spending federal money and other funds entrusted to us wisely and ensuring that our work is honest and above reproach.
