The grant has no set-aside designation. The research aims to leverage the complementary expertise of researchers from MIT and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in these scientific domains. The project has a period of performance from April 1, 2021 to March...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $340,012.61 grant for research to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study convective impacts on the summer stratosphere over North America. The research, known as the Dynamics and Chemistry of the Summer Stratosphere (DCOTSS) project, aims to improve understanding of how tropospheric air and water are injected into the stratosphere by convection, and the resulting chemical changes in the stratosphere, including...
- This is a $38,496.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant aims to have MIT participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. It also requires...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project titled "ASSESSING ACCURACY OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION INVENTORIES IN A MULTI-MUNICIPALITY METROPOLITAN AREA". The award, with a performance period ending March 31, 2024, is not associated with a set-aside program. MIT, a private research university, will be the prime contractor for this grant-funded research project....
- This is a $824,109.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research on "MIDLATITUDE TOPSIDE IONOSPHERIC VARIATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH PLASMASPHERIC EROSION AND REFILLING." The award has an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. MIT is the prime contractor and has extensive experience as a federal research contractor and grantee, partnering with...
- This is a $621,870.00 research grant awarded to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on August 19, 2021. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025 and supports research into the orbital and geological characteristics of the solar system's satellites and their long-term evolution. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. MIT frequently partners with the U.S. federal government, including NASA, to...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for a research project focused on understanding the connections between the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere. The project aims to investigate how variations in the temperature and height of the mesopause impact atomic oxygen density and the O/N2 ratio in the thermosphere, which influences ionospheric electron density. The $521,300.81 grant will leverage data from various NASA missions and ground-based observations to develop a novel climatology of the mesopause and study the coupling between the middle and upper atmosphere. This research aligns with NASA's priorities in the Heliophysics Roadmap and Decadal Survey, particularly in the areas of ionosphere-atmosphere coupling and neutral atmosphere dynamics. The award has no set-aside designation, and MIT frequently conducts cutting-edge research for the U.S. government through both contracts and grants.
