About this award
Federal contract award 21-IPMSI21-0002 represents a $213,982 research grant issued by NASA's Shared Services Center to Whittier College for the installation of Pandora and AERONET atmospheric monitoring sites on the college's campus in Pico Rivera, California. The contract, which was awarded on September 1, 2022, and extends through August 31, 2027, supports scientific research infrastructure development with no set-aside designation applied. Pandora instruments are ground-based remote sensing devices used to measure atmospheric aerosols and trace gases, while AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) comprises a global network of automated sun photometer stations that monitor aerosol optical properties. These monitoring systems are critical components of NASA's Earth science research programs for validating satellite measurements and understanding atmospheric composition.
Whittier College, a private nonprofit liberal arts institution and designated Hispanic-Serving Institution located in California, serves as the prime contractor for this research initiative. The college has demonstrated capability in conducting specialized atmospheric research and environmental monitoring projects for federal agencies. This contract aligns with the institution's broader portfolio of federally-funded research efforts, which emphasize student engagement and advanced scientific instrumentation. The five-year performance period allows for the establishment of long-term atmospheric data collection infrastructure that will support NASA's climate and air quality research objectives while providing educational opportunities for the college's student body.
