About this award
The Trustees of Boston University was awarded a $1.18 million cost-no-fee definitive contract by the Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) for Project RC25-4751, "Addressing Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Uncertainties Through Iterative Model-Data Assimilation." The work will be performed in Boston, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of September 15, 2030. The award carries no set-aside designation and was made following SERDP's Core Broad Agency Announcement (W912HQ24S0001), which solicited pre-proposals in November 2023 for research addressing environmental restoration, munitions response, resource conservation and resilience, and weapons systems. Boston University's research will contribute to the Department of Defense's environmental stewardship objectives by improving understanding and predictive modeling of terrestrial carbon dynamics through advanced model-data integration methodologies.
Boston University, a comprehensive private research institution with extensive federal contracting experience across scientific and engineering disciplines, brings significant expertise in computational climate modeling and environmental research to this initiative. The university's established research infrastructure and track record with federal agencies, including substantial funding from the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense for climate and environmental research, positions it to execute this multi-year investigation into carbon cycle uncertainties. The incremental funding structure allows for phased resource allocation across the project timeline, enabling adaptive research management and iterative refinement of modeling approaches based on emerging data and scientific findings.
