- This is a $169,213.25 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to address uncertainties in aerosol-cloud interactions and their impact on climate models. The project aims to develop two novel global Level-2 products from satellite sensor data that will quantify the radiative effects of absorbing aerosols above clouds and provide aerosol-corrected cloud optical depth...
- 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 $17,400.79 grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The grant is for USRA to contribute to NASA's Earth Information System for Greenhouse Gas (EIS-GHG) program. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. USRA is a well-established nonprofit that frequently partners with universities, companies, and government agencies to advance space science and exploration. The...
- 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...
- This federal contract award is a $249,849 cooperative agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization. The award aims to attract diverse groups of students to STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields through learning opportunities that connect to NASA's mission and work. This contract is not set aside for any specific business size or type. USRA has...
This federal contract award to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, consists of data assimilation experiments designed to test the impact of assimilating Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data on land surface model (LSM) fields and coupled numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts. The $283,037.75 grant from the NASA Shared Services Center will enable USRA to conduct standalone Noah LSM simulations and coupled Noah-Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations to validate the effect of SMAP data on soil moisture analyses and sensible weather elements over the contiguous United States and East Africa. This work supports NASA's SMAP mission, which aims to improve weather forecasting through enhanced soil moisture monitoring. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting USRA's status as a large nonprofit entity that frequently partners with government agencies as both a prime contractor and subcontractor on research initiatives.
