The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $750,000 Cooperative Agreement to Oklahoma State University on October 1, 2025, to deliver STEM engagement programming through the Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) program (CFDA 43.008). The award runs through August 17, 2028, with place of performance in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

OSTEM seeks to attract students to STEM through unique learning opportunities that spark interest and provide connections to NASA's mission, and to engage students in authentic learning experiences with NASA personnel. The program prepares students for tomorrow's workforce by broadening pathways to STEM fields and building the next generation STEM workforce.

Oklahoma State University passed through $750,000 to the University of Oklahoma (through its Office of Research Administration) as a sub-grantee under sub-award 80NSSC25M0010-1-525686-OU, awarded November 14, 2025. The University of Oklahoma's work focuses on developing an efficient multiscale homogenization and localization analysis method for nonlinear multiscale structural analysis. The research leverages reduced-order models tailored for different scales to enable robust and efficient nonlinear thermomechanical analysis, integrates ROMs into a hybrid computational framework utilizing CUDA programming for GPU-accelerated simulations on hybrid CPU/GPU architectures, and develops accurate physical models to represent nonlinear behavior across multiple scales.
