- This is a $525,568 grant awarded by NASA to the West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC), a non-profit subsidiary of West Virginia University (WVU). The grant is for a research project titled "Large Scale Coordination for Small Scale Structures: Connecting Transient Brightenings Between the Corona and the Photosphere." The project aims to utilize new chromospheric observation instruments to study the bi-directional flow of energy between the chromosphere and corona, with...
- This federal contract award to the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a subsidiary of West Virginia University, is focused on advancing the scientific understanding of magnetic reconnection at the Earth's dayside magnetopause. The $450,002 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will support research to develop scaling laws for asymmetric reconnection with diamagnetic drifts and flow shear, as well as investigate the 3D properties and observational...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra) on October 16, 2017 with a potential value of $508,407.25. The grant is focused on modeling the storage and release of energy in the Sun's corona that powers solar flares and coronal mass ejections. The work aims to address key science goals from the Heliophysics Decadal Survey, including determining the origins of solar activity and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $594,544.83, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The objective of this contract is to investigate the origin of major activity in solar active regions, particularly those that exhibit compact polarity inversion lines, which are known to be highly...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra) to conduct research addressing two key goals from the Heliophysics Decadal Survey. The research combines analysis of data from the current NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) spacecraft with numerical simulation to gain insights into the solar dynamo and magnetic activity cycles, which can help predict the arrival of new solar active...
- This is a $141,780.01 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a scientific research organization specializing in geophysical and space sciences. The grant is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and is focused on studying the role of the Lorentz force in solar flares. The project will involve retrieving the variation in height and lateral space of the magnetic field vector using data from the Hinode/SOT...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $1.06 million grant to the University of Maryland, College Park for research relating to the explosive release of magnetic energy in solar flares and the associated production of energetic particles. As the prime contractor, the University of Maryland will conduct this research through its Office of Research Administration over a three-year period ending in March 2023. The work is considered a small business set-aside and will be...
- This is a $468,832 research grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC), a non-profit subsidiary of West Virginia University. The grant is for research on the roles of electric and magnetic fields in planetary ionospheres, including their influence on large-scale ionospheric structure, plasma transport and dynamics, and the escape of charged particles to space. This grant is not a set-aside award. WVURC,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $599,572.13 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct research on the physical processes that lead to large-scale solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to understand how magnetic energy and helicity are transported from the solar convection zone to the corona, the mechanisms that trigger CMEs, the relationship...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct research on particle energization in solar flares. The $459,998.43 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund a project that combines observations from various NASA missions, including the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph...
This is a Cooperative Agreement award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC), a non-profit research organization and subsidiary of West Virginia University. The award, valued at $749,233.95, supports research focused on understanding the causes of solar activity, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, and how the Earth's magnetosphere responds to the resulting energetic radiation and plasma. The research will employ a range of techniques, including observations, modeling, and laboratory experiments, to address key themes in heliophysics, such as energy storage, transport, and release, as well as the transfer of energy from large to small scales and back. This award is not set aside and is part of NASA's broader Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) initiative, which aims to build research infrastructure and capabilities in underrepresented states.
