About this award
This federal contract award was granted to Northwestern University, a private research institution, by a civilian federal agency. The $1,538,150.01 grant is for research into the solar dynamo and magneto-rotational instability in the Sun's global radiation MHD simulations of the near-surface shear layer. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Northwestern University has a diverse portfolio of federal contracts and grants, including research and development projects with agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and Department of Defense. The university also holds an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the "Levitated and Trapped Accurate Microsystems (LEVITAS)" project, which supports advanced technological research, particularly in quantum technologies and precision measurement domains.
