UOG has a strong history of federal STEM capacity building awards, all of which exhibit UOG’s comprehensive mission and capacity to support federally aligned initiatives. Strategically located in a U.S. territory in the Indo-Pacific region, UOG is uniquely positioned to support federal priorities in cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence, and national security. Its regional reach, existing STEM capacity, and experience managing federally funded programs make UOG a capable and appropriate recipient for an Architecture and Engineering (A&E) project to design a Regional Cybersecurity and Data Science Center. This project is consistent with the University’s mission and strengthens Guam’s long-term infrastructure readiness for future federal investment. The proposed facility will serve as a secure, resilient, and future-proof hub for cybersecurity and data science capacity in Guam and the wider Micronesian region. Strategically located in a U.S. territory in the Indo-Pacific, the Center will be designed to meet the specialized technical demands of secure computing, high-performance data systems, and disaster-resilient infrastructure, in line with federal priorities in national security, critical infrastructure protection, and workforce readiness. In addition, America’s AI Action Plan, outlines actions related to artificial intelligence to position the United States at the forefront of emerging technologies, including acceleration of the adoption of AI by the U.S. workforce, investment in AI-enabled science and research, using AI to strengthen cybersecurity and critical infrastructure security, and training a skilled workforce for AI infrastruc","source_url":"https://moylan.house.gov/issues/community-project-funding-requests","source_date":"2026-07-21"},{"topic":"Education","stance":"Rehabilitation of the Historic Francisco Q. Sanchez School - Phase 2","detail":"Recipient: Humåtak Mayor's Office Location:  Humåtak, Guam 96916 Amount: $3,500,000.00 Justification: This project is located in the least populated village in Guam. It is a high-value investment in preserving Guam’s historic infrastructure while delivering tangible community benefits, including education, tourism potential, and local economic activity. Historic preservation efforts like the F.Q. Sanchez School site leverage existing assets to create public value and strengthen community growth. Once completed, The F.Q. Sanchez School will be the only operating school in the village of Humåtak. This will ensure that students can learn within their own community rather than facing long commutes that can negatively impact attendance and outcomes. F.Q. Sanchez School creates a functional, community-centered space that can support formal education, but also after-school programs, workforce training, workshops, and public gatherings. This transforms the site into a multi-use space, supporting youth engagement and opportunities for local economic participation through programming and events. By funding rehabilitation now, taxpayers avoid more expensive structural failures later.  See attachment for Nexus Letter & Financial Disclosure: fy27-humatak-fd+n.pdf  ","source_url":"https://moylan.house.gov/issues/community-project-funding-requests","source_date":"2026-05-23"},{"topic":"National Security","stance":"Acquisition of Three (3) Ship-to-Shore STS) Gantry Cranes","detail":"Recipient: Port Authority of Guam Location: 1026 Cabras Highway, Ste 201, Piti, Guam 96915 Amount: $60,000,000.00 Justification: The Port Authority of Guam operates Guam’s only commercial seaport, handling over 90% of imports that sustain approximately 169,000 residents and 113,683 in neighboring Micronesian communities. The port is also vital to U.S. national security, with defense-related cargo accounting for over 30% of throughput, a figure projected to rise with the Indo-Pacific military buildup. Aging cranes pose unacceptable risks. According to the American Association of Port Authorities and Liftech Consultants, STS gantry cranes at strategic ports should maintain 99.9% operational availability; falling below this standard exposes the supply chain to disruption. Guam’s aging and outdated cranes struggle to meet surge demand, undermining resiliency against mechanical failures and typhoons. This project is central to the Port’s modernization roadmap in the 2025 Master Plan Update. According to the Master Plan’s Crane Sensitivity Analysis, the existing three cranes are capable of handling approximately 192,000 containers per year—about 64,000 lifts per crane. With all three cranes in service, berth throughput exceeds forecasted organic and military build-up demand, ensuring readiness for future surge or live-action operations. If one crane is lost and only two remain operational, throughput falls to 128,000 containers annually, creating a shortfall of nearly 60,000 containers per year against peak defense forecasts. This shortfall could delay the military buildup by as much as four years and leave no margin for surge capacity. If two cranes fail and only one remains in service, throughput collapses to just 64,000 containers annually, far below Guam’s baseline organic demand.
