About this award
NASA awarded a $590,000 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) on September 1, 2022, for the EXCITE project: Expanding Reach of NASA Earth Sciences Research at a Hispanic Serving Institution in Southern Arizona. The research effort, which runs through August 31, 2027, is being performed in Tucson, Arizona. This grant represents NASA's commitment to broadening participation in Earth sciences research by leveraging the University of Arizona's designation as both a land grant institution and a Hispanic Serving Institution, thereby expanding access to NASA's research opportunities within underrepresented communities.
The University of Arizona, as a comprehensive research institution with extensive federal funding experience across NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health, is well-positioned to advance Earth sciences research and educational programming. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting the university's competitive standing in open federal procurement. This grant aligns with NASA's broader mission to strengthen scientific research capacity at institutions serving diverse student populations and to generate knowledge that supports understanding of Earth systems and climate science.
