- This is a $164,094.17 training grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, supports research to better understand the effects of drought stress on biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions and the subsequent impacts on atmospheric composition and climate. The project will implement new stress terms in the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS)...
- This $463,798.86 federal grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Houston System on April 17, 2020. The grant is for research using inverse modeling and deep learning approaches to investigate nitrogen oxides (NOx), formaldehyde (HCHO), and ozone sensitivity over the continental United States. This research is aimed at improving emission inventories for these key ozone precursors to support ozone modeling. The grant does not have a set-aside...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K1680, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, to conduct research on understanding the mechanisms that influence coastal ozone levels. The $163,031.54 grant will utilize multi-dimensional lidar observations over land and water to improve modeling of coastal ozone variability, which is crucial for accurate air quality...
- This is a $523,007 grant awarded by a U.S. government civilian agency to the University of Houston System, a Hispanic Serving Institution, to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as administration priorities and direction from Congress. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027 and was not set aside for any specific business type, indicating the university's competitiveness in this...
- This is a $24,957.38 grant award from a civilian federal agency to the University of Houston System, a comprehensive public research university in Houston, Texas, to conduct an innovative laboratory study that will aid in understanding past climate and fluid chemistry on cold planetary bodies such as Mars. The study will involve triple oxygen and silicon isotopic analyses of cryogenic opal A and silica precipitated from low-temperature brines to determine paleo temperatures and fluid histories...
- This is a $106,986 grant awarded to the University of Houston System, a Hispanic-Serving Institution, by a U.S. federal civilian agency to evaluate Umbra Space high-resolution data for low-latency multi-hazard damage mapping practices. The contract has no set-aside designation. The University of Houston System is a prominent research institution that has demonstrated significant capabilities in delivering research and development services to multiple federal agencies, including the Department of...
- This federal contract award is a $698,746.59 grant to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) from a civilian U.S. government agency, the Shared Services Center. The grant is for research related to climate extremes, including floods and droughts, which are projected to increase in intensity due to climate change. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2024 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. UT Austin, a prominent public research university, has...
- This federal contract award, valued at $561,694.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) to the University of Houston System. The contract is a grant for research focused on "EO14042 KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER FOR ROBUST GEOAI ACROSS SPACE, SENSORS AND TIME VIA ACTIVE DEEP LEARNING." The research aims to develop a machine learning framework and open-source toolkit for robust analysis of multi-sensor remotely sensed data, advancing deep learning, multi-modal...
- This is a $112,500.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System (University of Houston) for research into nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and its impact on the formation of tropospheric ozone, the nitrate radical, and nitric acid. The grant is part of NASA's Human Research Program and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Houston System, a Hispanic Serving Institution and state institution of higher learning, has...
- The University of Houston System received a $189,600.63 research grant awarded April 1, 2021, by a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) to conduct high-precision isotope measurements investigating the dynamics, mixing, and heterogeneity of the early solar nebula. The research focuses on nucleosynthetic components in presolar materials and chondrite meteorites, specifically examining osmium, molybdenum, ruthenium, and palladium isotopes to understand nebular heterogeneity and the...
This federal contract award is a $568,397.27 grant for research awarded by a civilian federal agency to the University of Houston System, a research university in Houston, Texas. The grant is focused on investigating the effects of drought stress on biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions and their impact on tropospheric air quality. The research aims to better understand the inherent complexity of BVOC emissions, which are an important but highly uncertain component of air quality and climate modeling. While existing models can predict BVOC emissions under normal conditions, there is a need to characterize BVOC emissions under stressed conditions, such as drought and heatwaves, where the response can differ substantially from model predictions. This grant will support efforts to develop algorithms that can accurately represent the processes controlling BVOC emissions under stress conditions. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and runs through August 31, 2024.
