- This $249,970.83 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was awarded to George Mason University, a large public research university in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant's objective is to provide modeling support for NASA's CCMC (Community Coordinated Modeling Center) Heliospheric ENLIL code and transition it to the Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud environment, including supporting its use in the CCMC-SRAG (Space Radiation Analysis Group)-M2M...
- This $247,274.94 grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency of the federal government, to George Mason University (GMU) to conduct research and analysis on solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The work will involve using data from various solar observation instruments to model the 3D structure and evolution of coronal shocks, which are believed to play a key role in the acceleration and injection of SEPs. This research supports the NASA Living with a Star program's...

The grant, issued on October 10, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 9, 2026, will be performed at the university's Fairfax, Virginia campus. No set-aside designation was used for this award. This research initiative supports the development of standardized methodologies for coordinate...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $214,177.33 grant to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to improve the quality of heliospheric simulations and space weather forecasting capabilities. The project will build upon the existing Wang-Sheeley-Arge (WSA)-ENLIL model used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for operational forecasts of solar wind and coronal mass ejection (CME) propagation. UAH will utilize its Multi-Scale...
- This is a $209,297.85 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to George Mason University, a large public research university located in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant will fund a research project led by Dr. Young to investigate how coronal hole plumes and active region fan loops in the solar corona are heated, utilizing data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), and...
- This $43,177.02 grant awarded to George Mason University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) supports scientific research to study the structure and dynamics of plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind, as well as mechanisms that accelerate and transport energetic particles. It addresses objectives of the Parker Solar Probe and STEREO missions, as well as key science goals from the Decadal Survey. The research combines in-situ measurements from the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $756,498.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University (GMU) to conduct research on the "INVESTIGATING THE EVOLUTION/OCCURRENCE OF KINK INSTABILITIES IN MAGNETIC FLUX ROPES (MFRS) IN THE HELIOSPHERE." The award is a grant for research, with a period of performance running through March 14, 2028. GMU, a large public research university located in Fairfax, Virginia, has a proven track record...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University, a large public research university located in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant aims to enhance the predictive accuracy of the WSA-ENLIL-Cone model, which is routinely used by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to simulate and forecast the propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) through the heliosphere. The project will leverage existing white-light heliospheric observations and an empirical model of CME propagation to better constrain the initial density of CME ejecta, which is a key parameter in the WSA-ENLIL-Cone model. This is expected to improve the model's ability to accurately predict the arrival times of CMEs at locations throughout the heliosphere. The resulting enhanced model will be delivered to both NASA and NOAA. The grant has a potential value of $199,813.13 and was awarded on October 18, 2018, with a completion date of October 17, 2020. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
