- This federal contract award, valued at $599,804.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) as the prime contractor. The contract is a grant for research to understand spatiotemporal transitions in marine low cloud systems using observations from various Earth observation satellites. There is no set-aside designation for this award. The University of Washington is a leading research university that has...
- This federal contract award with ID 80NSSC21K0142 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to develop observationally constrained models of the life cycle of snow over ice sheets. The $97,725.57 grant will leverage satellite measurements, existing airborne and in-situ data, and modeling to better understand snowfall, accumulation, redistribution, and runoff over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. This research aims to...
- This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC22K0682, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on snow characteristics and their implications for water resources. The $421,574 grant is for a research project that will run until February 2026. UW is a prominent research institution that has secured numerous federal contract awards and grants across a wide range of scientific disciplines. This contract is not set aside for...
- This is a federal grant award from a civilian agency to the University of Washington (UW) for $133,576.46 to conduct research on improving cloud-snow discrimination and understanding the snow energy balance in mountains using satellite data. The results will be important for guiding future satellite mission design and will be communicated to the NASA International Snow Working Group. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. UW is a prominent public research university...
- The federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC24K1449, is for a grant to the University of Washington to conduct research on "APPLICATION OF NEW IN-SITU AND REMOTE SENSING TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING ANTARCTIC SEA ICE DYNAMICS AND THERMODYNAMICS." The award, valued at $461,000.00, is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, and has a period of performance ending on September 30, 2027. The University of Washington is the prime...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K1273, was granted to the University of Washington (UW) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $591,681.00 grant is for research to utilize CALIPSO observations to develop a climatology of blowing snow in polar regions, improve parameterization of blowing snow aerosols in global models, and further the understanding of these phenomena. The award has no set-aside designation, indicating UW was selected as the prime contractor based on its qualifications and capabilities, rather than as a small business set-aside. As a leading research university, UW has a track record of securing federal contracts and grants to support a range of scientific research and technical services for civilian and defense agencies. This award aligns with NASA's ongoing work to advance climate science and Earth observation capabilities.
