About this award
The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) was awarded a $524,801 research grant by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, with an ultimate completion date of February 2, 2027. The grant supports research on "Energetic Electron Scattering by Kinetic Alfven Waves in Earth's Radiation Belts," a space physics investigation relevant to understanding particle interactions in the magnetosphere. As a public research institution and established federal partner, UTD brings substantial expertise in space physics research to this effort. The award was made through a grant mechanism with no set-aside designation, reflecting UTD's competitive standing in open federal research competitions. Work will be performed at UTD's campus in Richardson, Texas.
This grant aligns with UTD's demonstrated capabilities in space-related research and its broader federal portfolio, which includes multiple space exploration and magnetospheric research initiatives funded through the Shared Services Center and other agencies. UTD, which operates as a child entity within the University of Texas System, has established itself as a key research partner for federal agencies across diverse scientific domains, with particular strength in space physics, materials science, and engineering disciplines. The research supported by this award contributes to fundamental understanding of radiation belt dynamics, which has implications for space weather effects on satellites, communications systems, and human spaceflight operations.
