About this award
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $150,000 grant award on September 1, 2023, from a civilian federal agency (identified through the Shared Services Center) to conduct research on electron resonant acceleration by whistler-mode waves in the foreshock of Earth's bow shock. The research will be performed at UCLA's Los Angeles campus and is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2026. This grant supports fundamental space physics research aimed at understanding particle acceleration mechanisms in Earth's magnetosphere, which has implications for space weather prediction and protection of satellite systems. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating it was competed on an open basis.
UCLA, a prominent public research university and Land Grant institution, serves as a critical federal research partner across multiple scientific domains including space science, technology, and environmental research. The university's demonstrated expertise in managing complex federal research initiatives through its Office of Research Administration made it a competitive candidate for this award. While this particular grant represents UCLA as the child entity under the parent State of California Controllers Office structure, UCLA maintains an extensive portfolio of federal research funding from agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health, reinforcing its capacity to execute sophisticated scientific investigations.
