iSciences Secures Funding Award from NASA

iSciences LLC has secured funding from NASA for a 3-year project: Sustaining the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library.

NASA recently awarded $15.6 million in grant funding to 15 different projects in an effort to support the maintenance of open-source tools, frameworks, and libraries used by the NASA science community, for the benefit of all.

The grants are funded by NASA’s Office of the Chief Science Data Officer through the agency’s Research Opportunities for Space and Earth Science. 

iSciences has made a name for itself, monitoring freshwater resources and forecasts with a proprietary Water Security Indicator Model. The company secured funding from NASA’s Sustainment Awards category. The funding will support the company as they strive to support and sustain a geospatial data abstraction library – a tool essential to evidence0based analysis.
