- This is a $647,433.47 grant awarded to the Southwest Research Institute by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct a systematic study of the physics of energetic storm particle (ESP) events near Earth orbit. The study aims to advance the understanding of how interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) accelerate ESP in interplanetary space by examining the relationship between locally observed shock properties and ESP properties, the effects of ambient turbulence...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) received a $523,294.87 research grant from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of February 13, 2025. The project investigates the acceleration processes of helium-plus pickup ions (He+ PUI) at interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections and corotating interaction regions. This research addresses a critical gap in understanding energetic ion population dynamics in the heliosphere by analyzing the temporal evolution of pitch...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded an $749,684 research grant on August 1, 2024, for a project titled "Solar Energetic Particle Dropouts Inside 1 AU" under contract 23-SOGI23_2-0018. This scientific research initiative, which will be performed at SwRI's San Antonio, Texas facility and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2027, addresses heliophysics phenomena related to solar energetic particles in the inner solar system. The funding originates from a civilian federal...
- The U.S. government has awarded a $124,998 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for a project titled "Non-Substorm Energy Transfer and Reconnection Onset in the Near Magnetotail." The award, issued February 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027, supports scientific research in heliophysics and space weather phenomena. SwRI, a prominent nonprofit research and development organization headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, will conduct this work...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a San Antonio-based nonprofit research organization, received a $266,829 research grant award from a civilian federal agency on March 1, 2019, with a completion date of February 28, 2025. This grant supports heliophysics research focused on measuring elemental abundances in the solar corona using soft and hard X-ray (SXR, HXR) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) measurements from space-based instruments including MinXSS-1, RHESSI, SDO, and Hinode. The research aims...
- Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) was awarded a $984,906 grant by the Shared Services Center for research on suprathermal and energetic particle studies utilizing the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft. The contract, executed on April 18, 2023, is a non-set-aside research grant with an ultimate completion date of April 17, 2028, and will be performed at SwRI's headquarters in San Antonio, Texas. This grant supports fundamental scientific research in heliophysics, contributing to...
- This is a $861,858 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant's overarching objectives are to identify the pathways by which coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven shocks gain access to suprathermal ions from solar flares. This research aligns with NASA's Science Mission Directorate and SwRI's extensive experience in planetary science, solar physics,...
- The U.S. government awarded a $236,890.10 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) effective January 1, 2022, with completion scheduled for December 31, 2024. The grant supports scientific research titled "Properties of the Suprathermal Ion Population in the Inner Heliosphere During Quiet Times," which falls within the heliophysics research domain that SwRI actively pursues through its extensive portfolio with NASA's Science Mission Directorate. The work will be...
- This is a $330,921.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to advance the understanding of energy transfer and coupling processes between plasma and magnetic fields in the solar wind near Earth.
