- This federal contract award to the Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, D.C. is for a research project to investigate the physical nature and transport properties of flare-excited slow-mode waves in the solar corona. The $477,169 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside designation. The project aims to determine the excitation, propagation, and damping mechanisms of these waves using observations from the Solar...
- The Catholic University of America (CUA) was awarded a $120,698.84 grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on January 1, 2024, to conduct "A Study of Oscillations in Stellar and Solar Flares" (Contract No. 22-ECIP22_2-0020). This research grant, with an ultimate completion date of September 11, 2025, supports CUA's scientific research efforts in solar physics and space weather—areas in which the university has established itself as a significant contributor to federal research...
- This federal contract award to the Catholic University of America (CUA) is a grant for $333,279 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to measure the properties of small-scale eruptive events on the Sun using data from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The research aims to understand the relation between these eruptive events, the magnetic field structure, and photospheric flow field, providing important constraints...
- The Catholic University of America has been awarded a $74,559 research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center with a completion date of December 2, 2026. This grant supports research related to solar physics and space weather, specifically addressing NASA's mandate to study the sun's magnetic dynamo and the explosive events it generates, including coronal mass ejections, eruptive flares, and filament eruptions. The award carries no set-aside designation and was made through a competitive...
- This federal contract award was granted to The Catholic University of America (CUA) by NASA's Shared Services Center. The $482,397 grant is for a research project titled "PROBING FLARE-GENERATED SLOW-MODE WAVES IN CORONAL LOOPS DETECTED BY SDO/AIA" with a period of performance through March 8, 2026. The contract is a grant for scientific research and does not have a set-aside designation. CUA is the prime contractor and will leverage its expertise in space science and solar physics...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $333,142 grant for research to the Catholic University of America (CUA), a private university in Washington, D.C. The contract, which runs from April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2025, aims to study the large-scale electric field in the inner magnetosphere, which is a key driver of many processes and dynamics of magnetospheric plasma. CUA has a history of conducting research and providing technical expertise to NASA, the Department of...
- This is a $289,517 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research on the behavior of hydrogen lines and continua during solar flares. The research aims to address a gap in the existing literature on this topic. This grant award is not designated as a set-aside contract. CUA, a private non-profit university, will be the prime contractor performing the research under this grant. The grant has an ultimate...
- This is a $412,820 grant awarded to the Catholic University of America (CUA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on extracting the true response of geomagnetic indices by correcting for uncertainties in solar wind drivers. The research aims to enhance the understanding of the connections between solar variability and Earth's space environment, with the goal of improving the capability to predict extreme space weather conditions. The award is not...
- This federal contract award, valued at $292,842.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Catholic University of America (CUA), a private, non-profit research university in Washington, D.C. The contract is for a grant to conduct research that will measure a fundamental property of the Earth's ionosphere for the first time. The award is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. CUA has a history of federal...
This federal contract is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Catholic University of America (CUA), a private university in Washington, D.C. The $196,742.28 grant funds research to enhance previous work and provide the most accurate constraints on electron energy distributions produced during large solar flares. The research aims to determine details of the flare-accelerated electron spectra by analyzing X-ray data from the Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft. This work directly supports NASA's Heliophysics Decadal Survey goal to "discover and characterize fundamental processes that occur both within the heliosphere and throughout the universe." The grant also aligns with RHESSI's mission goals to understand the evolution of solar eruptive events, electron acceleration, and the origin of thermal plasma during flares. No set-aside was used for this award.
