About this award

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Office of Research was awarded a $449,186 research grant by a civilian Shared Services Center, with a performance period from January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2024. The grant supports research examining the relationship between land valuation and land-cover and land-use change (LCLUC), with particular focus on how local variations in agricultural and forested land values influence patterns of urban sprawl, protected area designation, and agricultural frontier development. This research addresses the significant economic dimensions of global land resources, which are valued at approximately $27.2 trillion—exceeding the combined market capitalization of the world's 100 largest companies. The award was not set aside and was competed on a full and open basis, reflecting UCSB's strong research capabilities in environmental and land use studies.

UCSB, a prominent public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution located in Santa Barbara, California, will conduct this work through its Office of Research division. The university, which is a child entity of the State of California Controllers Office, regularly delivers advanced research services across multiple scientific domains to federal agencies. This grant aligns with UCSB's demonstrated expertise in climate science, environmental research, and interdisciplinary studies, areas in which the institution has successfully secured funding from agencies including the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the Department of Energy.
