About this award
Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA), headquartered in Seattle, Washington, was awarded a $524,840 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on January 3, 2022, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. The grant supports research focused on solar flare prediction and space weather phenomena, addressing the challenge of forecasting solar flares through remote-sensing data analysis. Solar flares are recognized as direct drivers of certain space weather effects and can indicate impending coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particle events. This award represents a continuation of NWRA's established role as a key partner in federal scientific research, with the company bringing substantial expertise in geophysical and space sciences research, advanced computational modeling, and data analysis capabilities.
The grant was not subject to a set-aside designation and was structured as a research grant with no specific competitive restrictions. NWRA's selection reflects its demonstrated track record of successful federal research partnerships with agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, among others. The performance location is established in Redmond, Washington. This award aligns with NWRA's core competencies in space physics and atmospheric science research and contributes to broader federal objectives in understanding and predicting space weather phenomena critical to national infrastructure protection and satellite operations.
Description
Solar flares are directly responsible for some aspects of space weather, and can indicate other impending phenomena (coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particle events). Predicting solar flares is challenging due to the remote-sensing nature
