About this award
NASA's Office of STEM Engagement awarded a $1.2 million cooperative agreement to The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) with an ultimate completion date of August 5, 2028. This non-set-aside award will support UTRGV's efforts to attract students to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields through unique learning opportunities that spark interest and provide meaningful connections to NASA's mission and work. The cooperative agreement structure enables UTRGV, a Hispanic-Serving Institution located in Edinburg, Texas, to engage students in authentic learning experiences that align with NASA's educational objectives while leveraging the institution's established expertise in research and educational capacity building.
UTRGV's selection as prime contractor reflects its demonstrated capacity as a versatile federal research and educational partner, particularly given its position as one of the largest minority-serving institutions in the United States with over 90% Hispanic enrollment. The institution's prior cooperative agreements and contracts with NASA for balanced science programs, combined with its extensive NSF, NIH, and DOE funding portfolio spanning STEM education and research initiatives, position it as a qualified partner to execute this engagement mission. The award advances NASA's strategic priority of expanding STEM workforce development while supporting educational pathways for underrepresented populations in South Texas and beyond.
