OSU is a prominent public land-grant research university known for its expertise in areas such as agriculture, forestry, oceanography, and environmental sciences. The...
This is a $141,826.95 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University, a public research university in Corvallis, Oregon. The goal of the research is to develop a computational design methodology that integrates human factors principles early in the design process through functional failure analysis of complex systems. The research aims to optimize human well-being and overall system performance by recognizing humans as a...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Oregon State University, a public research university in Corvallis, Oregon, to improve estimates of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 14.4.1 - the proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels. The $725,892.31 grant will fund research to synthesize global geospatial datasets, including remote sensing data, Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel...
This is a $2,720,534.69 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU), a public land-grant research university, to support the Oregon Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) program from fiscal years 2015 to 2018. The grant aims to provide Oregon students, especially women and underrepresented minorities, with hands-on research and educational opportunities in STEM disciplines, disseminate NASA resources, and invest in interdisciplinary...
This is a one-year grant for $78,621.52 awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) for the development of an ontology and resilient design approach to represent semantic information describing autonomous aviation systems, such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS). The award is part of NASA's "Tools to Support Autonomy in Aviation" major program, which focuses on developing advanced technologies to enable autonomous capabilities in...
This is a $421,280 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) for a research project to assess how oceanic ecosystems have responded to natural and human-induced climate forcing using data from heritage and existing satellite missions. The grant has an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2025. OSU is a public land-grant research university, and this award is part of its extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants...
This is a $109,714.22 cooperative agreement awarded by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct a citizen science needs assessment for the GLOBE program. GLOBE is an international educational and citizen science research program that allows teachers and students to collect environmental data. The objective is to expand GLOBE beyond just classroom participants to include non-students as citizen scientists, while maintaining the program's focus on collecting...
This is a $80,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University (OSU) to develop methods for estimating floodplain topography using remote sensing data. The goal is to improve flood modeling and hazard mapping by addressing the limitations of existing global digital elevation models (DEMs), which often lack the detailed terrain information needed for accurate flood inundation predictions. OSU will explore three approaches: data...
This is a $1,735,280.50 grant award to Oregon State University, a public research university located in Corvallis, Oregon, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports a 3-year research project focused on understanding how upper ocean ecosystem characteristics determine the vertical transfer of organic matter from the surface ocean. The project will evaluate how plankton community properties govern organic matter export, and contribute to...
