About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $450K research grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) on March 17, 2025, for the project "From CryoCloud to StratusGeo: Expanding Community-Centric Cloud-Based Science to NASA Geoscience Communities." The grant, which carries a completion deadline of March 16, 2026, supports the development and expansion of cloud-based scientific computing platforms designed to serve NASA's geoscience research communities. UMD, a major research institution and land-grant university, will leverage its extensive capabilities in advanced computational research and scientific infrastructure to enhance accessibility and usability of cloud-based tools for geoscience researchers. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting open competitive selection based on UMD's demonstrated technical qualifications and research expertise.
This grant represents NASA's continued investment in modernizing research infrastructure and democratizing access to advanced computing resources for the geoscience community. UMD's work will expand upon existing cloud-based science platforms, building on the CryoCloud framework to create StratusGeo, which will facilitate collaborative research and data analysis for scientists across multiple institutions. As a research-intensive institution with significant experience managing federal grants from NASA and other agencies, UMD is well-positioned to deliver the computational infrastructure and community engagement components required to advance NASA's geoscience mission objectives and support the broader scientific community's evolving technological needs.
