Obviously this pales in comparison to the recent $250 million dollar deal announced by ProMedica and UT but this is another impressive announcement.

With our new President I think we are going to see more and more exciting things announced on all fronts very soon as well.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Great news. And the Promedica deal is even better. Besides the $250 million that will be for development of College of Medicine facilities through 2040, UT will receive annual Academic Affiliation Payments that will start with $12 million in 2016 and increase to $50 million by 2020. After that, UT will receive a percentage of Promedica's net patient revenue which is expected to be at least $50 million per year for the rest of the 50 year agreement.
An updated story says that UT will get only $2 million to spend locally with the rest going to other partners in the project.
Sounds similar to Project Lead the Way that is in our local high school.

That's a business disguised as a non-profit I believe or a sustainable non-profit. They sell a product a formalized method of general ed materials and instruction. Not that that's bad nor not good.
This NASA project seems more like application based curriculum development. Coming out of Geography and Planning I would suspect elements of sustainability, mapping (remote sensing), stuff like that. Maybe other aspects of the partnership bring in more physics related stuff. Key word, "development." Solid partnership to be in on. 10 million or 2, serious kudos earned.
