About this award
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), operated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), received a $770,288 research grant from a civilian federal agency to investigate the effects of penetrating electric fields on vertical ion drift. Awarded on January 15, 2020, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2024, this grant represents the type of fundamental atmospheric science research that NCAR regularly conducts as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center. The work will be performed at NCAR's Boulder, Colorado facility, which serves as the primary hub for the organization's atmospheric and Earth system research activities. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation.
NCAR's expertise in atmospheric research, advanced modeling, and scientific instrumentation development makes the organization well-positioned to execute this ionospheric study. As a nonprofit consortium of over 115 universities, UCAR provides specialized research services to multiple federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, NASA, and NOAA. This grant aligns with NCAR's broader portfolio of work investigating atmospheric phenomena and contributes to the scientific understanding of ionospheric processes that influence communications, navigation systems, and space weather interactions with Earth's upper atmosphere.
