- This is a $367,127.99 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the structure and variability of the solar wind. The research aims to investigate how the magnetic geometry of the solar corona influences the heliospheric solar wind. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program. As a parent organization, the State of California Controller's Office would administer any funding provided to UC Berkeley under this grant. UC Berkeley...
- The University of California, Berkeley received a $413,075 grant award from a civilian federal agency (through the Shared Services Center) on October 1, 2021, to conduct research on "Properties of the Suprathermal Ion Population in the Inner Heliosphere During Quiet Times." The research grant, which extends through September 30, 2026, represents a competitive award with no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's selection based on scientific merit. UC Berkeley, a premier...
- This is a $520,337 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar wind turbulence and dissipation. The award aims to investigate how kinetic-scale fluctuations in the solar wind may contribute to heating and isotropizing the solar wind as it travels towards Earth. This research aligns with NASA's focus on understanding the physics of the Sun and solar system. The award was made directly to the...
- This is a $309,918.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant supports three research topics: 1) statistical analysis of newly discovered wave activities in the inner magnetosphere, 2) analysis of adiabatic vs. non-adiabatic effects in electron heating and acceleration, and 3) modeling the generation process and...
- This is a $490,344.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is for research on collisionless shocks, which play crucial roles in astrophysical and heliospheric plasmas, from solar wind interaction with planets to acceleration of cosmic rays. The grant has a performance period from February 14, 2020 to February 13, 2026. It is not...
- This is a $135,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant, which has no set-aside designation, is for research related to coronal heating, which is a significant driver of energy in the regions connecting the Sun and the Earth. As the parent organization, the State of California Controllers Office would...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $329,348.05 research grant to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to analyze data from solar and space weather monitoring instruments. The goal is to better understand the origin of the solar wind and its impacts on the near-Earth environment. This work supports NASA's heliophysics research program, which seeks to characterize the physical processes driving solar and space weather activity. The grant does not...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is to support research on how a planet's interactions with its host star can determine its evolutionary path, specifically focusing on how the plasma environment responds to the star's dynamic radiation and magnetic field. This grant is not set aside for any particular business type. The...
- The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded a $524,603 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on field-aligned currents in the near-Earth magnetotail. This research is expected to be completed by February 28, 2026. The grant is not set aside for a specific business type. As a public research university, UC Berkeley has a long history of supporting federal agencies through...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $499,998.21 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to enhance a solar corona model and improve understanding of the Sun's corona. The one-year research effort aims to upgrade the Coronal Global Evolutionary Model (CGEM), driven by data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory mission, and analyze the model's output compared to observations....
This award is a $411,460.44 grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant will support a project that involves analyzing data from spacecraft such as Helios, Wind, and ACE, as well as developing simulations using a Langevin model/collisional hybrid expanding box code. The research aims to study the interactions between solar wind ions, the local wave field, and solar wind expansion. The award does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley, as a public research university, frequently receives federal contract and grant awards from agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense to conduct research in areas such as space physics, semiconductor design, and national security. The State of California Controllers Office serves as the parent organization for administering any funding provided to UC Berkeley under this grant.
