About this award

This is a $296,900 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of South Florida (USF) on September 2, 2020. The agreement does not have a set-aside designation.

The agreement supports research related to the discovery of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, an oceanic phenomenon that has been recurring since 2011. This suggests a potential regime shift where recurrent Sargassum blooms may become the new normal in future years. The research is being conducted in Tampa, Florida and is scheduled for completion by September 1, 2024.

The University of South Florida is a state-controlled institution of higher education that provides a variety of research and services to federal agencies like NASA, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Defense through prime and subcontract awards. This agreement represents NASA's investment in understanding a significant oceanic shift that may have wide-ranging environmental and economic implications.
