The award is not...
This federal contract award to the Catholic University of America (CUA) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support research related to understanding the global distribution and dynamics of electric and magnetic fields in the magnetosphere and ionosphere during extreme space weather events. The $384,407.22 grant will enable CUA to use the Space Weather Modeling Framework to simulate the transport of ring current electrons, ions, and the resulting global electric and magnetic fields. This research is relevant to NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program, which aims to understand solar variability and its effects on space and Earth environments. CUA has a robust portfolio of federal research grants across various scientific disciplines and has also been awarded several federal contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles for specialized services such as ocean acoustics and educational support for the U.S. Navy.
