This federal contract is a $416,130.30 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research, education, and outreach in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The agreement is part of NASA's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) and Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) initiatives, which aim to increase diversity and participation in NASA-related activities.

Over the past seven years, UVI has significantly expanded its NASA-funded research and education programs, growing from having no NASA awards to securing over $1 million in annual NASA funding. This includes establishing a physics degree program, hiring more faculty, and providing student research opportunities. The new cooperative agreement will further support UVI's efforts to embed NASA research as a cornerstone of STEM education in the U.S. Virgin Islands through activities such as a NASA-SEED grant program, student travel to national meetings, and hiring a dedicated NASA grants administrator. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
