Every day NASA is learning more and more about the Earth’s ever-changing environment, from the shrinking ice shelves to the warming atmosphere. NASA’s environmental scientists and projects are receiving a boost for some of that new research through NASA’s MUREP Institutional Research Opportunity (MIRO) funding. NASA’s Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) are administered through NASA's Office of STEM Engagement. MUREP enhances the capabilities of Histor...ically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other Minority Serving Institutions to contribute to the research needs of science and technology enterprises. https://go.nasa.gov/3ziIU6w
