About this award
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) was awarded a $658,369 research grant by NASA on October 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. This civilian research grant supports investigations into the solar wind—the continuous streams of charged particles emitted by the Sun that transport energy and magnetic fields through interplanetary space to the heliospheric boundary. The project leverages in situ observations collected by NASA's fleet of spacecraft positioned at various locations and times throughout the heliosphere to advance scientific understanding of solar wind phenomena. The award carries no set-aside designation and will be performed at UAH's Huntsville, Alabama campus.
This grant aligns with UAH's established research portfolio in space science and represents the university's ongoing contributions to NASA's heliophysics and space weather research objectives. As a public research institution with significant federal research capabilities, UAH brings sophisticated scientific and analytical expertise to space physics research, complementing broader NASA efforts to understand solar-terrestrial interactions and advance heliospheric science.
