About this award

NASA awarded a $341,513 grant to Taller Ecológico De Puerto Rico (Aurea Rodriguez, UEI: XU1HF3RHJCJ5) on April 11, 2022, to support the OCEANOS (Ocean Community Engagement and Awareness Using NASA Observations and Science for Low-Income Hispanic/Latino Students) initiative. The project, which extends through April 10, 2027, is based in Boquerón, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, and aligns with NASA's Science Mission Directorate Priority 4 on Inspiration and diversity initiatives. The grant supports efforts to increase STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education opportunities among low-income, first-generation Hispanic/Latino students, particularly those in Puerto Rico, by leveraging NASA ocean observation data and science.

The core initiative combines NASA ocean color data with low-cost in-water instrumentation to enhance STEM education and environmental awareness among low-income students regarding oceanographic and coastal issues in Caribbean waters. The project specifically targets water quality monitoring in shallow-water marine ecosystems, addressing coastal and ocean ecosystem degradation in Latin America caused by climate change and local pollution. The effort addresses all four Science Educational Activities Committee (SciACT) objectives: enabling STEM education, improving scientific literacy, advancing national education goals, and leveraging partnerships to disseminate NASA resources to underrepresented communities and audience networks.
