UW is a prominent research institution that has secured numerous federal contracts and...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on improving the accuracy of satellite-based precipitation measurements over the ocean. The research will involve using data from 64 acoustic rain sensors and 11 surface rain gauges mounted on ocean buoys to test methods for downscaling NASA's Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) precipitation product to better...
- This federal grant award to the University of Washington (UW) supports research to improve the measurement and modeling of mountain snow, which is critical for understanding water supplies and ecosystems. The $1,174,641 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UW's status as a large educational institution. As a leading...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was granted to the University of Washington to conduct analysis and validation of data collected during the Olympic Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign. The OLYMPEX project, which occurred from November 2015 to February 2016, was designed to validate measurements from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite over the Olympic Peninsula and adjacent oceans. The...
- This is a federal grant award from a civilian agency to the University of Washington (UW) for $133,576.46 to conduct research on improving cloud-snow discrimination and understanding the snow energy balance in mountains using satellite data. The results will be important for guiding future satellite mission design and will be communicated to the NASA International Snow Working Group. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. UW is a prominent public research university...
- This is a $562,161 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the response of low clouds to changing atmospheric composition. The work aims to gain a better understanding of the spatial and temporal relationships between precipitation, microphysics, and cloud radiative properties, which are critical for improving climate model physics. The research will leverage data from...
- This is a single-source federal grant contract awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the University of Washington (UW) for the provision of SINGLE-SOURCE, GPM AND TRMM DATA PRODUCTS. The $48,077 grant has a performance period ending on July 31, 2026. The contract is not set aside and represents a competitive award to UW, a prominent public research university with extensive experience executing complex, multidisciplinary projects across numerous scientific domains for...
- This federal contract award, valued at $135,000.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Washington. The contract is a grant for research on "Precipitation in Mountainous Regions Provides Vital Downstream Water Resources that Require Accurate Measures of Global Precipitation Distributions." The contract has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024 and was awarded on September 1, 2021. The University of Washington is the prime...
This federal contract award to the University of Washington is for research related to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The $289,238 grant will prepare for and support field research over the Olympic Peninsula and Mountains in the Pacific Northwest to validate the GPM satellite's ability to measure precipitation over complex terrain. This work will include installing surface instrumentation, assisting with radar operations, providing weather forecasting support, and analyzing preliminary data collected during the field campaign. The funding is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, and the contract has no set-aside designation. The University of Washington has extensive experience supporting federal research programs, including prior work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and National Institutes of Health.
