About this award

This $511,479.00 federal grant award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is intended to support research on the physics of thin current sheets in the mid-distant magnetotail. The goal is to understand the processes underlying the thinning of the magnetotail current sheet and the onset of instability, which are key elements of magnetotail dynamics. This research grant has no set-aside designation and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles. As a public research university, UCLA leverages its scientific expertise, facilities, and administrative capabilities to execute federal research and development contracts and grants across various domains for agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Defense, and Department of Energy. UCLA's parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office, which has also received federal contract and grant awards as either a prime or subrecipient, demonstrating the university's extensive experience in federally funded projects.
