About this award
The Catholic University of America (CUA) has been awarded a $560,497 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center to support a project titled "Specifying Properties of Dayside Magnetopause Reconnection from a Machine-Learning Model for the Earth's Cusps." This non-set-aside grant, awarded on June 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2027, will be performed at CUA's Washington, DC campus. The project focuses on applying machine-learning methodologies to advance understanding of magnetic reconnection processes occurring at Earth's dayside magnetopause, specifically within the cusps—regions of significant scientific importance for space weather and magnetospheric research.
This award aligns with NASA's broader mission to advance space science research and reflects CUA's established portfolio of federally-funded scientific investigations in solar physics, space weather, and atmospheric dynamics. As a private research university and the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, CUA has demonstrated consistent capacity to deliver high-quality scientific research across multiple federal agencies. The four-year research initiative represents a continuation of CUA's contributions to understanding Earth's magnetosphere and plasma dynamics, areas critical to NASA's space physics programs and the advancement of predictive models for geospace phenomena.
