About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $710,763 research grant to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute) on January 1, 2024, for a project titled "Simulations, Sensitivity Kernels and Helioseismic Inferences on the Magnetic Sun." The grant, which extends through December 26, 2026, will be performed at BAER Institute's location in Moffett Field, California. This non-competitive award supports advanced solar physics research aimed at developing computational models and analytical techniques to better understand magnetic phenomena on the sun through helioseismic methods—observations of solar oscillations that reveal internal solar structure and dynamics. The work aligns with NASA's broader scientific objectives in solar physics and heliophysics research.
BAER Institute, a non-profit research organization specializing in interdisciplinary scientific research and data analysis, is well-positioned to execute this work given its extensive track record of federal-funded solar physics investigations. The institute maintains a robust portfolio of NASA-supported grants focusing on solar phenomena, magnetic reconnection, and related topics, often conducted collaboratively with leading research institutions. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting BAER Institute's specialized capabilities in computational solar physics research. The grant represents part of the institute's ongoing contributions to advancing understanding of solar magnetic processes through sophisticated computational and analytical methods.
