About this award
This federal contract award is a $590,000 grant to Texas Tech University System, a Hispanic Serving Institution, to conduct research on "Synergetic Surface-Based and Satellite-Borne Measurements of Arid-Region Aerosol and Precipitation (S3-MAAP)." The research aims to improve understanding and forecasting of weather and climate features, particularly precipitation and aerosol loading, in drylands. This is a critical need given the increasing frequency of severe weather events and natural disasters driven by climate change, which have caused over $1.7 trillion in damages across the U.S. since 1980. The grant, awarded by a U.S. government civilian agency, will support Texas Tech's expertise in atmospheric science, engineering, and other relevant disciplines to develop advanced scientific solutions and technological innovations to address this challenge. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Texas Tech University System has a strong record of federal contract and grant awards, often working with prime contractors and partnering with federal agencies such as NASA, USDA, and DoD on diverse research and development initiatives.
