Federal Project Grant Summary The University of California, Santa Cruz received a $300,000 Project Grant award dated July 15, 2026, from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop an open-source hardware and software platform for outdoor sensor networks supporting agriculture, forestry, and land management. The project addresses the agricultural industry's pressing need for increased productivity through data-driven precision agriculture techniques, which have demonstrated significant benefits such as reducing water consumption by 20-50% while maintaining or increasing crop yields. The deliverables consist of two integrated components: (1) sensor node hardware and firmware that collects data from arbitrary sensors (e.g., temperature and power monitoring) and transmits measurements wirelessly using multi-modal communication capabilities, and (2) a backend data ingestion and visualization pipeline that receives and processes data from the hardware nodes. By creating a community-driven, long-lasting open platform with comprehensive sensor integration, data collection, wireless communication, and visualization capabilities, the project aims to lower deployment barriers and encourage broader adoption of sensor technology among U.S. farmers and land managers. The effort supports national interests by enabling improved land management practices, optimizing resource use, and helping agricultural producers adapt to changing environmental conditions. The grant carries an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027, and reflects NSF TIP's strategic focus on advancing applied research translation and open-source ecosystem development across critical sectors addressing societal and economic competitiveness challenges.
