This federal contract was awarded by a U.S. government agency to Florida State University (FSU) to conduct research on the micro and macro-fluid dynamics and acoustics of resonant liners. The $225,000.00 grant-funded contract has an ultimate completion date of August 10, 2005. The contract does not utilize a set-aside. FSU, through its Sponsored Research Administration division, has a strong track record of securing federal research and development funding from agencies such as the Department of...
This is a $288,605 firm-fixed-price definitive contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force Space Command to Florida State University (FSU) to optimize a local numerical weather prediction model. The contract supports the design of an optimized Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model for forecasting locally developing thunderstorms during the convective season. FSU, a major public research university, will leverage its expertise in physical sciences, engineering, and atmospheric research to perform...
This $133,884.58 grant was awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Florida State University (FSU) on September 1, 2019. The project aligns with NASA's Earth Science Research Program goals to advance understanding of changes in the Earth's radiation balance and air quality resulting from changes in atmospheric composition. FSU, a major public research institution, will conduct research and development through its Sponsored Research Administration Division. No set-aside was used for this...
This is a grant awarded by NASA to Florida State University (FSU) for a research proposal to study convective processes in the tropics under the Weather and Atmospheric Dynamics (WAAD) funding opportunity. The research aims to improve understanding and modeling of hurricane genesis and intensity change, utilizing data assimilation techniques that combine wind data from various sources like DAWN lidar, dropwindsondes, CYGNSS, and precipitation estimates. The project also plans to investigate...
This federal grant award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct research on the relationship between precipitation and environmental forcing during tropical cyclone formation. The goal of the research is to develop a 13-year global database of developing and non-developing tropical disturbances using data from multiple passive microwave satellite sensors. The research aims to identify systematic differences in...
This federal contract award with ID NNX15AM67H was granted to Florida State University by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, for a research project titled "Mid-Summer Droughts Amidst Landfalling Tropical Cyclones and Atmospheric Rivers". The $100,009.53 contract does not utilize any set-asides and supports research to examine the variations and relationships between the mid-summer drought, atmospheric river events, and tropical cyclone activity in Central America and the Caribbean. The research aims to improve the ability to predict weather and climate changes in the region, with potential impacts on agriculture and food security. Florida State University's Sponsored Research Administration division is managing this contract, which was awarded on September 1, 2015 with a completion date of November 4, 2020. The university has experience conducting federal research and development contracts for defense and civilian agencies across a range of scientific and technical domains.
