About this award
Boston College received a $505,165.91 grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) to conduct research on generating real-time global maps of ionospheric irregularities with applications to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) usage in aviation. The award, issued on November 5, 2020, with a completion date of November 4, 2024, represents a non-set-aside grant for research that will be performed at the university's campus in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. This research addresses NOAA's space weather forecasting objectives and contributes to improving aviation safety and navigation system reliability through better understanding of ionospheric disturbances that can degrade satellite-based positioning and communication systems.
As a private, non-profit Jesuit Catholic research institution with extensive federal contracting experience, Boston College brings considerable expertise in space weather research and technical applications to this initiative. The university has a demonstrated track record of conducting complex scientific research across multiple disciplines and collaborating with federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation. This NOAA-funded project aligns with Boston College's research portfolio in space weather and represents its capability to deliver specialized technical research supporting critical national infrastructure and aviation safety operations.
