About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) was awarded a $250K research grant by a civilian federal agency to investigate kinetic effects in three-dimensional reconnection at the bow shock. This civilian research grant, with no set-aside designation, runs through December 31, 2026, and supports fundamental scientific research conducted at UMD's College Park, Maryland campus. The award is structured as a grant for research, reflecting the university's extensive capabilities as a research-intensive institution that regularly executes complex technical work across multiple federal agencies. UMD operates under the University System of Maryland (USM), which serves as the parent organization coordinating research and technical services across Maryland's public university network.
This award aligns with UMD's established research portfolio in advanced scientific domains, including space exploration and fundamental physics research. The university's track record includes significant federal partnerships with agencies such as NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense, spanning research areas from quantum computing to aerospace technology. The bow shock reconnection project represents the type of fundamental scientific investigation that supports broader national objectives in space physics and plasma dynamics, areas critical to understanding magnetospheric phenomena and supporting space exploration initiatives.
