This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K1906, was granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the University of Massachusetts Boston. The $280,404 grant is for research purposes and does not have a set-aside designation. The award recognizes the University of Massachusetts Boston's contributions through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) TERRA satellite mission, which reached its 20th anniversary in 2019. The university's research and development work has...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0509, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Massachusetts Boston. The contract, with a ceiling value of $84,342.00, is a grant for research to investigate the sensitivity of bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) corrections to the particle scattering phase functions. This research aims to better understand the uncertainty in BRDF corrections, which is critical for accurately measuring...
The U.S. government has awarded a $99,896 grant contract to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) to provide extended maintenance and continuity of the Terra/Aqua MODIS albedo, NBAR, and BRDF algorithm. This contract is not set aside and will run through September 30, 2026. UMass Boston, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, will utilize its academic expertise to deliver the contracted services. The funding agency is the National Aeronautics and Space...
This is a $270,970.78 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) on September 1, 2016.
