About this award
The Regents of the University of Colorado at Boulder received a $373,283 research grant from a civilian federal agency to investigate hemispheric asymmetry effects on thermal structure and airglow emissions within the magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) system. This research initiative, designated 19-LWS19_2-0064, leverages remote sensing observations of airglow to infer upper atmosphere and ionosphere dynamics and chemistry. The project runs through December 31, 2026, with work performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting the university's competitive standing for federal research funding.
The University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants administered this award as a parent contract with no identified major subcontractors noted in the available documentation. CU Boulder's selection for this research aligns with its established expertise in space sciences and atmospheric research, supported by its broader portfolio of federal grants and contracts with agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This project contributes to the university's ongoing mission to advance scientific understanding of Earth's upper atmospheric systems through collaborative federal research partnerships.
