The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $340,012.61 grant for research to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study convective impacts on the summer stratosphere over North America. The research, known as the Dynamics and Chemistry of the Summer Stratosphere (DCOTSS) project, aims to improve understanding of how tropospheric air and water are injected into the stratosphere by convection, and the resulting chemical changes in the stratosphere, including the continued decline in lower stratospheric ozone. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on January 1, 2019, with a completion date of June 30, 2020. MIT, a private research university, has extensive experience conducting scientific research for federal agencies across a wide range of disciplines.
