About this award
This is a $443,850 grant award to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, from a civilian federal agency for research related to the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission. The research will analyze the behavior and transport of supra-thermal and energetic particles within magnetic switchbacks detected by the PSP spacecraft as it travels through the upper solar corona, with the goal of understanding the mechanisms that accelerate and transport these particles. The award has no set-aside designation and will run through September 30, 2026. The University of Arizona, a comprehensive research university, frequently receives federal research grants and contracts, including from agencies like NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, leveraging its expertise across disciplines like astrophysics, planetary science, and biomedical research.
