About this award
This federal contract award to Bethune-Cookman University, Inc. (BCU) is for the establishment of a Data-Enabled Academic Partnership (DEAP) Institute. The goal is to increase the number and research capacity of STEM students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and prepare a future workforce for data-intensive space-based earth sciences.
The $1,498,146.35 cooperative agreement will support BCU's DEAP Institute, which will focus on machine learning-based development of a virtual constellation of satellites to study changing water levels across different timescales. Key activities include a research academy program, paid student internships at NASA centers, partnerships with NOAA and the NSF AI Institute, and peer-mentoring among students from the consortium institutions. This contract is awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside designation.
Description
The project goal is to establish a deap institute and partnership in order to increase the number and research capacity of stem students at hbcus and prepare a future workforce for data-intensive space-based earth sciences. The deap institute s research will focus on ML-based development of a virtual constellation of satellites to capture changing water levels from an event (storm flooding) to multi-decadal (sea level rise) time scales in order to leverage research backgrounds of the consortium s members and partners. Distinguishing features include (1) a deap consortium of three institutions including 2 hbcus (2) a research academy program to provide students/faculty teams with data-intensive projects (3) paid summer student internships at NASA centers (4) leverage through an extended partnership with NOAA-center for coastal and marine ecosystems (5) a peer-mentor program among partnering institutions students (6) a collaboration with the NASA mentor and SMD case study, ML-based detection of flood extent and impacts and (7) a consultant from the NSF AI institute.
