About this award
Florida Institute of Technology Inc., a private non-profit university based in Melbourne, Florida, received a $771,213 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 20, 2020, to investigate the radiation levels of galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles within the heliospheric magnetic field using solar photosphere magnetogram measurements. This grant supports scientific research with an ultimate completion date of December 14, 2026, and represents no set-aside designation. The research aligns with Florida TECH's established expertise in space sciences and advanced computational techniques, areas in which the institution has demonstrated significant capability through its extensive portfolio of federal research awards and contracts spanning multiple scientific disciplines.
This grant award reflects Florida TECH's position as a key research institution for federal agencies, particularly in space-related scientific investigations. The university's research focus on solar wind dynamics and space exploration, evidenced through prior funding from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and other federal agencies, demonstrates its technical qualifications to execute this research initiative. The project contributes to the broader scientific understanding of cosmic radiation environments relevant to space weather prediction and human spaceflight safety considerations.
