About this award
NASA awarded the American Geophysical Union (AGU) a $1.41 million research grant on November 9, 2021, to support early career researchers in the post-pandemic period. The award, which was ultimately completed on May 9, 2025, supported NASA's Science Mission Directorate and represents a termination for convenience agreement. No set-aside designation was used for this contract. AGU, a Washington, DC-based nonprofit scientific organization with over 60,000 members, was selected to deliver this support through its extensive experience managing research initiatives, professional development programs, and scientific collaboration efforts across federal agencies.
This grant aligns with NASA's broader commitment to sustaining the scientific workforce and supporting emerging researchers during economic recovery. AGU's track record of securing substantial federal funding for research initiatives—ranging up to $1.7 million from agencies including NSF, NASA, and the National Endowment for the Humanities—demonstrates its capability to manage complex scientific programs. The organization's prior work has encompassed advancing diversity and inclusion in geosciences, supporting interdisciplinary research collaboration, and facilitating professional development through partnerships with academic and research institutions, positioning it to effectively support early career researchers across the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines within NASA's purview.
