  In the United States, scientific research in space weather is funded by
several Government Agencies including the National Science Foundation (NSF) and
the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA). For commercial purposes,
space weather forecast is made by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Observations come
from the network of groundbased observatories funded via various sources, as
well as from the instruments on spacecraft. Numerical models used in forecast
are developed in the framework of individual research projects. Later, the most
promising models are selected for additional testing at SWPC. In order to
increase the application of models in research and education, NASA in
collaboration with other agencies created Community Coordinated Modeling Center
(CCMC). In mid-1990, US scientific community presented compelling evidence for
developing the National Program on Space Weather, and in 1995, such program has
been formally created. In 2015, the National Council on Science and Technology
issued two documents: the National Space Weather Strategy [1] and the Action
Plan [2]. In the near future, these two documents will define the development
of Space Weather research and forecasting activity in USA. Both documents
emphasize the need for close international collaboration in area of space
weather.
