About this award
The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) was awarded a $31.4 million Cooperative Agreement on December 1, 2021, to serve as prime contractor for the GESTAR II Consortium. The consortium comprises five universities—including Morgan State University, Colorado State University, and Pennsylvania State University—alongside three non-academic partners. The award, funded by a civilian federal agency operating as a Shared Services Center, runs through November 30, 2026, and is not designated with a set-aside. The place of performance is located in Baltimore, Maryland, where UMBC's Financial Services division will manage the agreement.
GESTAR II represents a continuation of UMBC's role in the Earth and Space Science Technical Assistance and Research (GESTAR) program, building upon the incumbent Morgan State University's prior participation. As a public research university with established expertise across Earth science, astrophysics, and materials research, UMBC brings substantial federal contracting experience through prior work with NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the National Institutes of Health. The consortium structure leverages UMBC's research capabilities alongside its partner institutions to deliver integrated scientific and technical services across multiple disciplines in support of the funding agency's mission objectives.
