The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institution (EPP/MSI) CESSRST II, a consortium of six higher education institutions (4-MSI, 1-HBCU, and 1-AANAPSI), aim to train cohorts of US citizen students who graduate and have the competencies needed to join the NOAA mission enterprise workforce. 

These institutions form a broad-based research team in remote sensing applied to earth, atmospheric, environmental, and marine sciences.

The Center’s research and training focus on all aspects of remote sensing including sensor development, satellite remote sensing, ground-based field measurements, data processing and analysis, modeling, and forecasting. The center is an outstanding example of collaboration among institutions to educate and train students in the field of environmental remote sensing by conducting research consistent with NOAA’s Science Goals and Missions. Recruitment and training focus on mentoring undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students into scientific and engineering disciplines in which they can specialize in remote sensing.

The Center's students and faculty/researchers work in line with the National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service’ (NESDIS), Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), the center's thematic research & education projects are designed to address NOAA’s main missions of Sciences, Services, and Stewardships. NOAA-CESSRST members also work in close collaborations with other NOAA line offices including the National Weather Service (NWS), Office of Atmospheric Research (OAR), and National Ocean Services (NOS).
