This is a $106,425.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Florida Institute of Technology, Inc. (doing business as Florida TECH), a private non-profit university. The grant is focused on researching the origins of the double power-law spectral profile observed in solar energetic particles (SEPs) at 1 AU. The research will examine two hypotheses: 1) the profile is generated close to the Sun due to finite shock lifetime/size or shock geometry, and 2) the profile is due to transport processes from the Sun to 1 AU. The goal is to better understand the underlying mechanisms and potentially improve forecasting of SEP fluxes and total radiation at Earth. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Florida TECH has a history of providing research, training, and other services to federal agencies like NASA, the Department of the Air Force, the Department of the Navy, and the Department of Justice through prior prime and subcontract awards, grants, and indefinite delivery vehicles.
