About this award

This is a $441,830.24 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University for research on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and their effects on astronauts and spacecraft beyond Earth's magnetic field. The goal is to improve the reliability of space weather forecasts for predicting SEP events. This is not a set-aside contract. Princeton University, a leading private research university, will leverage its expertise in areas like quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and fundamental scientific exploration to support NASA's mission. The university has a history of federal contract and grant awards, including work with the Department of Defense and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Princeton University holds an Other Transaction (OT) Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) with DARPA for an Experimental Neutrino Detector (END) prototype, which allows the university to rapidly develop innovative research and development services across scientific domains.
