About this award
The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) received a $841,974.29 research grant from a Civilian Shared Services Center with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2025. The award supports research on solar wind dynamics and space weather, specifically examining how the structuring of solar wind into fast and slow streams generates recurrent geomagnetic activity at Earth and throughout the solar system. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2020, with performance taking place in Huntsville, Alabama. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
This grant exemplifies UAH's strong research portfolio in space science and atmospheric phenomena, areas where the university maintains established expertise through collaborations with major federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation. As a public research institution, UAH leverages its sophisticated research and development capabilities to advance scientific understanding of critical space weather phenomena that impact satellite operations, communications infrastructure, and power systems on Earth. The research outcomes contribute to broader national objectives in space weather prediction and characterization, supporting the federal government's mission to better understand and forecast geomagnetic disturbances.
