About this award
The University of the District of Columbia was awarded a cooperative agreement valued at $1.17 million by NASA's Shared Services Center to develop NASA-infused curriculum and experiential research opportunities focused on student success in space technology. The award, issued October 1, 2023, extends through September 30, 2026, and will be performed in Washington, D.C. This contract represents part of NASA's broader commitment to strengthening STEM education and workforce development by engaging academic institutions in the creation of educational content and research experiences aligned with the agency's space exploration objectives. UDC, a public Historically Black College and University and land-grant institution, was selected based on its demonstrated expertise in aerospace technology research and capacity to deliver innovative educational initiatives to support federal research priorities.
The cooperative agreement carries no set-aside designation and reflects NASA's investment in UDC's capabilities as a minority-serving institution with a strong track record in space-related research and STEM education development. This award aligns with UDC's broader portfolio of federal contracts in aerospace and space technology, which have previously included work on astronaut mission readiness, extravehicular activity systems, and space-based food production research. Through this initiative, UDC will leverage its expertise as a comprehensive research institution to create curriculum and experiential learning opportunities that prepare students for careers in the space technology sector while advancing the broader federal agenda of expanding participation in STEM fields among underrepresented populations.
