- This is a $185,502.15 cooperative agreement award to the Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project to leverage citizen science and low-cost air quality sensors to improve NASA's satellite-derived fine particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring capabilities. The project aims to collect spatially dense, high-quality PM2.5 data from citizen scientists in three regions representing low, moderate, and high PM2.5 levels. This...
- This is a $1,607,640 Cooperative Agreement awarded by NASA to the non-profit Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) to collect and analyze data from low-cost air quality sensors deployed by citizen scientists in three regions (Raleigh, Los Angeles, and Delhi) to improve the ability to estimate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations from satellite aerosol measurements. The goal is to enhance the value of NASA's Earth science data products for monitoring air quality near the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $84,581.01, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State), a prominent public research university. The grant supports research related to NASA's fleet of satellites and ground-based remote sensing systems, which gather data on atmospheric particulate matter that can impact climate, weather, and public health. As a leading 1862 Land Grant institution, NC State has extensive experience...
- This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to study how agricultural ammonia (NH3) emissions are changing and how well atmospheric chemical transport models can predict the emissions, transformation, and removal of NH3 over agriculture-dominated regions. The $104,993.27 grant will utilize NASA Earth observation datasets from 2010-2014 to investigate NH3 trends, test model simulations, and...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the San Jose State University Research Foundation, the research arm of San Jose State University, in the amount of $698,979.59. The contract's purpose is to provide satellite-derived PM2.5 grids with dispersion model downscaling to support community-scale air quality health research and policy development. The key deliverables include: 1) Providing daily satellite-derived 10-km PM2.5 grids...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH), doing business as the Office of Sponsored Research, for a project titled "Using Atmospheric Science to Inform Decision-Making on Air Quality and Health." The project has two main tasks: 1) Estimating global surface ozone concentrations through a statistical fusion of global surface observations and global multi-model ensembles, to improve...
- This contract award, identified as NNX16AO66H, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the University of North Dakota (UND) Division of Research & Economic Development. The $75,000.00 contract is a training grant to study particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution over China using NASA Earth observation satellite data. The research aims to develop methods for estimating surface-level PM2.5 concentrations from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization...
- This federal contract award, valued at $356,471.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia (UVA), a non-profit academic institution, to conduct research on air pollution disparities in U.S. cities. The research will leverage a range of NASA Earth observation datasets, including satellite remote sensing data and in-situ aircraft measurements, to better understand the atmospheric chemistry, conditions,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $100,000.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center (SSC) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to conduct research related to particulate matter, one of the six criteria air pollutants for which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards under the Clean Air Act. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research with a completion date of August 31, 2024....
- This federal contract award was issued by NASA to Princeton University to study the spatiotemporal variability of ammonia through syntheses of in-situ, ground-based, and remote sensing measurements. The $715,252.44 grant aims to identify how remote sensing measurements of ammonia can be used to improve air quality forecasts of PM2.5, a criteria pollutant. The activities will validate satellite measurements of ammonia, examine spatial and temporal variations, and integrate field data into Earth...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) supports research to improve surface particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution modeling using satellite remote sensing data. The $89,250.78 grant aims to develop methods for linking aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements from high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) with the chemical composition of PM2.5 as modeled by the Environmental Protection Agency's Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. This approach seeks to enhance the accuracy of surface PM2.5 predictions, which is critical for assessing the health impacts of ambient air pollution, especially in developing regions with limited ground-based monitoring. The work leverages data from NASA's Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality (DISCOVER-AQ) campaign. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
