About this award
The U.S. government awarded a $100,000 research grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on December 1, 2023, for an impact assessment examining the application of satellite earth observation data to Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG15) monitoring in Ghana. The work will be performed at MIT's Cambridge, Massachusetts campus and is scheduled for completion by November 30, 2024. This grant was issued by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center and represents a non-set-aside award, reflecting MIT's broad competitive capabilities in federal research contracting.
The project aligns with MIT's extensive portfolio of federal research initiatives across scientific and engineering domains, leveraging the institution's expertise in geospatial analysis, environmental monitoring, and technology innovation. By assessing how satellite-based earth observation can support sustainable development monitoring at the country level, this research will contribute to international development objectives while advancing methodologies for remote sensing applications in environmental and land-use assessment. The grant supports MIT's role as a leading research institution providing advanced scientific research and technological development to federal agencies in service of national and global priorities.
