This is a $806,684.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University (GMU), a large public research university in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant is for a project titled "INVESTIGATING THE FORECAST CAPABILITIES OF THE MODELING OF THE SOLAR SPECTRAL IRRADIANCE FROM THE SOLAR SURFACE MAGNETIC FLUX". This research grant does not have a set-aside designation. GMU has a history of executing federal contracts and grants across a wide range...
This $43,177.02 grant awarded to George Mason University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) supports scientific research to study the structure and dynamics of plasma and magnetic fields at the sources of the solar wind, as well as mechanisms that accelerate and transport energetic particles. It addresses objectives of the Parker Solar Probe and STEREO missions, as well as key science goals from the Decadal Survey. The research combines in-situ measurements from the...
This is a $498,012.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to George Mason University, a large public research university in Fairfax, Virginia, to improve CME (coronal mass ejection) forecasting by leveraging heliospheric imagery and ensemble modeling. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports scientific research and development work to enhance the accuracy of predicting space weather events that can impact Earth and space-based assets. George Mason University...
This $247,274.94 grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency of the federal government, to George Mason University (GMU) to conduct research and analysis on solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The work will involve using data from various solar observation instruments to model the 3D structure and evolution of coronal shocks, which are believed to play a key role in the acceleration and injection of SEPs. This research supports the NASA Living with a Star program's...
This is a $448,615.92 grant awarded by NASA to George Mason University (Mason) for a research project titled "The Jewels in the Crown: Probing Small-Scale Energy Supply and Release with the Brightest Active Reg". The project will utilize the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) satellite and other solar observation instruments to study compact, high-energy heating events in the solar atmosphere, known as Compact Energetic Brightenings (CEBs). The goal is to better understand...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University, a large public research university located in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant aims to enhance the predictive accuracy of the WSA-ENLIL-Cone model, which is routinely used by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to simulate and forecast the propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) through the heliosphere. The project will leverage existing...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The $524,743.00 grant is for a research project to perform a comprehensive study of the subsurface and surface flows associated with active regions and their evolution using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)...
This is a $99,862.00 grant for research awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to George Mason University (GMU) for the "Development of Standard for Space Time Coordination Transforms in Heliophysics". The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating GMU's competitive capabilities across federal procurement mechanisms. GMU is a large public research university that regularly secures federal contracts and grants to provide specialized research, technology development, and...
This $249,970.83 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center was awarded to George Mason University, a large public research university in Fairfax, Virginia. The grant's objective is to provide modeling support for NASA's CCMC (Community Coordinated Modeling Center) Heliospheric ENLIL code and transition it to the Amazon Web Service (AWS) cloud environment, including supporting its use in the CCMC-SRAG (Space Radiation Analysis Group)-M2M...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $178,764 grant to American University, a private university located in Washington, D.C., to conduct research on the gradual formation and sudden eruption of filament channels on the Sun. This research, which aims to better understand the magnetic energy buildup and explosive release in these solar structures, will be performed under a fixed-duration grant with a completion date of March 31, 2025. American University, as the prime...
