Agency
National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
Description
SERVIR,
an initiative of NASA and the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID), fosters applications of Earth observations to help developing
countries assess environmental conditions and climate change to improve their
planning and actions. This solicitation requests proposals for the SERVIR
Applied Sciences Team (AST), which will improve the abilities of SERVIR
regional hubs, national stakeholders, and users to apply Earth observations.
The
primary purpose of this team is to provide geographic and thematic applied
science expertise to regions supported by the SERVIR global network. Geographic
regions include Eastern and Southern Africa, Hindu-Kush Himalaya, Lower Mekong,
and West Africa. Specific topics for this solicitation include food security,
water and water-related disasters, land use and ecosystems, and weather and
climate. Each team member will co-develop with, strengthen the capacity of, and
transfer application(s) to SERVIR regional hubs to address users’ decisionmaking needs. Team members will also communicate,
coordinate, and share expertise with each other
and SERVIR hubs across thematic and regional interests.
Details
of the solicited program are given in Appendix A.44 of this ROSES NRA. Further
information about specific program elements may be obtained from the individual
Program Officers listed in the Summary of Key Information for each program
element in the Appendices of this ROSES NRA and at http://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/.
Questions concerning general ROSES NRA policies and procedures may be directed to
