- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research and education institute. The grant, valued at $459,461.00, is to support research related to the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument installed on the International Space Station. The research aims to improve the understanding of the sources and processes affecting stratospheric aerosol and cirrus cloud...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $361,407.85 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to perform research on the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station (SAGE III-ISS). The work will entail measuring in-situ profiles of stratospheric aerosol size distributions using newly developed optical particle and condensation nuclei...
- This is a $139,288.62 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for research to develop tools and methods to extract and interpret city-level particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring and forecast data from NASA satellite and model data, making this information more accessible to the public and end-users. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. USRA has extensive experience supporting...
- This is a $218,991.39 grant awarded to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project that will use long-lived trace gas records to address questions about ozone trend attribution, stratospheric circulation change, and the sensitivity of ozone projections to simulated dynamical variability. The research aims to quantify the effect of declining ozone-depleting substances...
- This is a grant award to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project titled "Quantifying the Effects of Stratosphere - Troposphere Exchange on Tropospheric Ozone Interannual Variability and Trends". The $331,933.54 grant will fund a study to analyze the impacts of stratosphere-troposphere exchange on tropospheric ozone, including quantifying the spatial distribution...
- This is a $231,572 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to quantify and constrain the stratospheric water vapor and ozone responses and feedbacks to global warming using NASA's Goddard Earth System Model and satellite observations. The research aims to improve the understanding of the stratospheric chemical feedback and its impact on global warming. USRA, a nonprofit research organization, will conduct...
- This is a $116,393.53 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to investigate the use of lidar observations to improve the representation of aerosol optical properties in a high-resolution global aerosol transport model. The goal is to refine the model's ability to simulate the vertical distribution and composition of aerosols, which is crucial for assessing their impact on the Earth's climate system. USRA will use NASA's extensive...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $158,268.79 grant for research to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), doing business as U.S.R.A. The grant supports a comprehensive multi-sensor and interdisciplinary study of biomass burning and associated smoke aerosols over the Indian Subcontinent. The research aims to characterize the fire patterns, evaluate the column-to-surface aerosol relationship, estimate the aerosol radiative...
- This award is a $76,462 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) for research on tropospheric ozone and its formation. USRA, a nonprofit research organization, will conduct this work for NASA's Shared Services Center. The grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. As a leading provider of scientific research and engineering services to federal agencies like NASA, USRA leverages its expertise in Earth science, climate...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $64,999 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to execute a balanced science program. The grant supports USRA's participation as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. USRA will also advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $288,522.37 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to validate satellite observations of atmospheric trace species such as aerosols, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and water vapor against other measurement platforms. The effort will use a chemistry model to reconcile sunrise and sunset observations from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument on the International Space Station. This work will help characterize the structure and seasonal variability of key atmospheric constituents in the upper troposphere and lower-to-middle stratosphere. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting USRA's status as a large nonprofit research organization that partners with government agencies, universities, and industry on a wide range of space science and technology initiatives.
