About this award
The Trustees of Princeton University received a $605.3K research grant from NASA's Shared Services Center, awarded on October 17, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of October 16, 2026. The grant supports fundamental research on "The Influence of Realistic Velocity Distribution Functions on the Dynamics and Instabilities Within Collisionless Shocks," a plasma physics investigation conducted at Princeton's New Jersey campus. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents the type of sophisticated scientific research that Princeton University consistently executes across multiple federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Energy.
The research project falls within NASA's broader mandate to advance scientific understanding of space phenomena, with collisionless shocks being critical to understanding solar wind interactions, magnetospheric dynamics, and high-energy astrophysical processes. Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration will manage the execution of this work, drawing on the institution's established expertise in plasma physics and space-related research. The four-year performance period allows for comprehensive investigation and analysis of velocity distribution functions and their effects on shock dynamics, contributing to fundamental knowledge that informs space physics modeling and exploration initiatives.
