About this award
The University of South Florida was awarded a $111,130.15 research grant (Contract 19-EARTH20-0209) to support a study examining how surface waves affect the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) altimetry mission. The grant, issued by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on September 1, 2020, with completion targeted for August 31, 2024, directly contributes to doctoral research in physical oceanography at USF's College of Marine Science located in Tampa, Florida. This research addresses a technical gap in understanding surface wave interference with SWOT satellite measurements, which is critical for improving the accuracy of oceanographic data collection.
The award represents a non-competitive grant with no set-aside designation, reflecting USF's established reputation as a major public research institution with extensive experience managing federal research funding across multiple scientific disciplines. The research aligns with broader civilian agency priorities in earth science and oceanographic research, supporting both advanced scientific investigation and graduate-level educational objectives. As a parent contract with no identified subcontractors, this award demonstrates the university's direct capacity to conduct specialized marine science research that contributes to national priorities in space-based earth observation.
