The University of Connecticut (UConn) has been awarded a $618,848 research grant by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) under contract 21-S2SHYD-21-0044 to conduct research on "Understanding the Role of Vegetation in Flash Drought Early Warning and Predictability." The contract, awarded January 17, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 16, 2027, supports scientific research aimed at improving drought prediction and early warning capabilities through the investigation of vegetation dynamics. This research aligns with federal priorities in environmental monitoring and climate-related forecasting. UConn's Office Sponsored Programs division will execute the work at the university's primary campus in Storrs, Connecticut. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
UConn, a prominent land-grant research institution, is well-positioned to execute this research contract given its extensive experience managing federal research grants and contracts across multiple agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. As a child entity under the Connecticut Secretary of State's office, UConn has demonstrated strong capabilities in multidisciplinary environmental and scientific research. The university's track record of securing and executing research awards in environmental sustainability and climate-related studies, combined with its collaborative research infrastructure, supports its ability to deliver meaningful scientific contributions to flash drought forecasting and vegetation monitoring research over the contract's four-year performance period.
