New Mexico State University (NMSU) was awarded a $660,360 grant on January 1, 2023, to support index-based livestock insurance initiatives (IBLI) in East and Southern Africa through earth observation for forage biomass and associated risk factors. The award, identified as contract 21-SERVIR21_2-0074, is funded by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center and runs through June 30, 2026. Work will be performed at NMSU's Las Cruces, New Mexico campus under a grant for research contract type with no set-aside designation applied.
