NASA awards 11.7 million to HBCUs to conduct data science research that will contribute to the agency’s Science Mission Directorate missions. Credit: NASA/Cory Hustonis awarding $11.7 million to eight Historically Black Colleges and Universities through the new Data Science Equity, Access, and Priority in Research and Education opportunity. These awards will enable HBCU students and faculty to conduct innovative data science research that contributes to NASA’s missions.
The agency’s Minority University Research and Education Project and the Science Mission Directorate collaborated on the DEAP opportunity, and selected the following institutions and their proposed projects:NASA MUREP DEAP Institute of Environmental Intelligence for Advanced Space-based Earth Sciences
This project will rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning to better understand the science of concentrated salt solutions and the formation of ring-like deposits called evaporites. Understanding the science of salt concentrations and formation of evaporites will bring new insight into identifying where water may have existed.
Three North Carolina-based HBCUs will work together on this project developed to harness data science for flood monitoring and management.Capacity Building to Support the Machine Learning-Based Detection of Floods and other Natural Hazard Impacts in the Department of Environmental, Earth and Geospatial Sciences at North Carolina Central University
Is the selection based on race and merit?
