Negotiation
began in 2002 and September 2004
NC A&T State University
celebrated  the
sighing of Memorandum of
Understanding with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
with the opening of the National
Resources Conservation Services
Eastern Regional Technology
Center whose service area
consisted of 24 states and the
Caribbean area. The Greensboro
Center was also home to the
remote  sensing
lab. The Memorandum of
Understanding says A&T has a
working farm with modern
facilities and farm equipment.
NRCS will benefit from the use
of this farm by being able to
provide hands-on training to
NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor
field studies that can serve as  demonstrations
to both NRCS trainees and also
local and regional farmers. A
negotiated action under
Solicitation 5NC0075 resulted in
a non-competitive award to
locate the USDA Natural
Resources Conversation Service's
East National Technical Center
and East Remote Sensing
Laboratory on the North Carolina

dated Sept. 1, 2004
Project
Overview: The
JSNN will support established
research programs with faculty from
the two universities and will
have its own faculty lines as
well. The primary goal of
the school is to be a world
leader in research, nano-related
education, and outreach. The
JSNN will promote Research
goals, Education goals, and
Outreach goals. To meet these
goals, the JSNN will require
specialized, state-of-the-art
industrial quality
research space. These will
include laboratories for life
sciences, engineering, materials
science and other spaces
requiring tightly controlled
environments. |
