About this award
The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) was awarded a $744,453 cooperative agreement effective January 1, 2023, and concluding December 31, 2026, to apply unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and satellite-based optical sensors for coral reef preservation in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The award, funded through a Civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, supports work to be performed on St. Thomas and represents a non-competitive cooperative agreement with no set-aside designation. UVI's Office of Sponsored Programs will serve as the prime contractor delivering this specialized environmental monitoring research and technical services.
This award leverages UVI's position as the only institution of higher education in the territory and its established expertise in marine and environmental sciences research. As a historically black, minority-serving land-grant institution, UVI is well-positioned to conduct applied research addressing regional environmental challenges, particularly coral reef ecosystem monitoring and preservation. The cooperative agreement aligns with the university's demonstrated track record of federal research partnerships with agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where similar technology-based marine research initiatives are frequently undertaken to support scientific understanding and conservation objectives in the Caribbean region.
