This federal contract award, with the ID NNX15AP81G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to conduct research on the impacts of environmental change on high-elevation communities in Central Asia. The $1,004,330.41 grant supports a project that evaluates four aspects of environmental change, including changes in thermal regime, moisture regime, socioeconomic conditions, and land cover, and their linkages to community well-being indicators in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The project aims to detect changes in pasture condition through remote sensing and link them to community well-being using econometric and structural equation modeling. There is no set-aside designation for this award. SDSU, a public land-grant research university, is the prime contractor on this grant, which aligns with the university's expertise in areas such as environmental studies and remote sensing.
