This federal contract award, valued at $446,446.53, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The award is for the development of a coupled model that combines a first-principles physics-based Fokker-Planck (FP) simulation with machine-learning-based predictive models to provide initial, boundary, and other conditions. The award was made as a grant for research, with an ultimate completion date of April 23, 2024. The University of Colorado is a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning that has a history of providing research, education, and technology development services to federal agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The award was not set aside and does not appear to be associated with a larger contract vehicle.
