About this award
Oregon State University received a $1.26M grant award from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to validate surface ocean particulate carbon and biological rates in support of the NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Mission. The research effort, which commenced January 1, 2024 and extends through December 31, 2027, will be conducted at OSU's facility in Corvallis, Oregon. This award was made through a competitive merit-based process with no set-aside designation and supports NASA's mission to advance understanding of ocean biology and carbon cycling through improved measurement validation methodologies.
The contract leverages Oregon State University's established expertise in marine research, oceanographic sciences, and federal partnership capabilities. As a land-grant research institution with an extensive portfolio of federal awards across environmental sciences and marine biology, OSU is well-positioned to deliver the specialized technical services required for PACE Mission validation work. The research contributes to NASA's broader strategic objective of monitoring ocean health and carbon sequestration processes critical to climate science and Earth system understanding.
