- The University of South Florida (USF) was awarded a $678,354.72 grant (NNX16AR74G) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the distribution and abundance of pelagic Sargassum macroalgae in the Intra-Americas Sea region. The grant supports two topics from the NASA Ocean Biology and Biogeochemistry program's request for proposals: examining Sargassum's role in ocean ecology and building on previously funded projects. The project aims to develop algorithms for...
- This $1,268,398.30 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Florida (USF) to support a research project designed to meet the water management needs of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The project aims to develop validated algorithms and data products to assess and monitor algae blooms in the Lower Okeechobee (LO) and downstream estuaries using satellite...
- This is a $296,900 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of South Florida (USF) on September 2, 2020. The agreement does not have a set-aside designation. The agreement supports research related to the discovery of the Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt, an oceanic phenomenon that has been recurring since 2011. This suggests a potential regime shift where recurrent Sargassum blooms may become the new normal...
- The University of South Florida (USF) has been awarded a $98,512.87 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the ecological stresses affecting the South Florida estuaries, including recurring algae blooms and seagrass dieoffs. This grant, awarded on November 1, 2019, has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2023. The contract is a research grant without any set-aside requirements. As a major public research university, USF leverages its...
- This is a $587,389.00 grant awarded by the U.S. government's Shared Services Center to the University of South Florida (USF) for a research project titled "EO14042 LINKING BIOGEOCHEMICAL AND OPTICAL WATER QUALITY IN COASTAL AND INLAND WATERS: DATA SYNTHESIS, ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT, AND EFFECTIVE PRODUCT DELIVERY". The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. USF is a major public research university with a robust portfolio of federal contract and grant awards across...
- This is a $590,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Florida (USF) to advance the science of satellite data analysis for mapping ocean biogeography. The project aims to differentiate short-term anomalies from long-term trends in the taxonomic and functional diversity of marine life, using data from the Aqua, Suomi-National Polar-Partnership (SNPP), and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellite series. The goal is to...
- The University of South Florida has been awarded a $683,621 research grant by a civilian federal agency for a project titled "Mapping Marine Debris in Global Coastal Oceans" (24-OBB_24-0016). The grant is classified as a non-competed award with no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027, with the award effective January 1, 2025. The work will be performed at USF's Tampa, Florida location and focuses on marine environmental research aligned with the...
- The University of Puerto Rico's Research and Development Center (Chancellor Mayaguez Campus) has been awarded a $988.4K grant for research titled "Remote Sensing of Sargassum Accumulation and Impacts on Tropical Marine Ecosystems: A Multi-Scale Approach." The award, issued on August 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026, represents a civilian federal research grant with no set-aside designation. The work will be performed at the university's Mayaguez, Puerto Rico...
- This is a $125,490.66 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Florida (USF) for research related to NASA's goals of understanding ocean physics, biology, and ecosystems. The grant, contract number 80NSSC19K1358, has a performance period from September 1, 2019 to December 18, 2023. No small business or socioeconomic set-aside designations were used for this award. As a major public research university with broad expertise across...
- The University of South Florida (USF) received a $299,864 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to build on the existing National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) Demonstration Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON). The grant aims to integrate ground and satellite observations related to biodiversity to inform ecosystem-based management, supporting regional NOAA programs like the Integrated Ecosystem Assessment (IEA), the National Marine Fisheries Southeast...
This $454,985.99 federal grant award to the University of South Florida (USF) is supporting the further development and improvement of the Sargassum Watch System (SAWS), a prototype decision-making tool created to track pelagic Sargassum macroalgae in the Intra-Americas Sea and tropical Atlantic region. The project aims to enhance SAWS' data products and forecasting capabilities to better serve government agencies, environmental groups, and other stakeholders. Key objectives include expanding SAWS coverage, determining Sargassum distribution and trends, developing bloom forecasting models, implementing short-term transport forecasts, and increasing the user base. This effort builds upon existing infrastructure and the established SAWS prototype, which is currently at Technology Readiness Level 4-9. No set-aside designation was specified for this grant, which is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the "Forecasts of Pelagic Sargassum Blooms and Transports in the Intra-Americas Sea and Tropical Atlantic" major program.
