The University of Maryland Baltimore County received a $68,531 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center (functioning as a civilian agency) to support engagement with the African Meteorological Society and the World Meteorological Organization to address common climate change issues. The award, issued on February 1, 2025, is structured as a grant for research with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027. The work will be performed in Baltimore, Maryland, and aligns with NASA's 2022 Strategic Plan objective of scientific discovery and exploration, with emphasis on contributing to national priorities in science while expanding societal benefits and cross-disciplinary collaboration. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this award.

This grant supports UMBC's established expertise in Earth and atmospheric science research, including climate monitoring and related environmental investigations. The engagement with international meteorological organizations reflects NASA's commitment to advancing climate science knowledge and fostering collaborative relationships with global partners to address climate change challenges. The award demonstrates UMBC's continued capacity to deliver specialized research and scientific support across multiple federal agencies, positioning the institution as a key partner for advancing NASA's science and exploration mission objectives.

This nofo s goal is contribute to science, technology, and exploration research goals, such as those described by the NASA 2022 strategic plan. Twsc aligns to the 2022 plan s goal statement: NASA s enduring purpose is scientific discovery and exploration for the benefit of the united states and all of humanity. NASA seeks to discover the secrets of the universe, search for life elsewhere, and protect and improve life on earth and in space. Finding answers to these profound science questions requires support for national priorities in science and exploration, enhancing new opportunities for cross disciplinary science, and expanding the societal benefits of our science programs.
