About this award
The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RFSUNY), operating as Stony Brook University, was awarded a $548,560 research grant on February 8, 2024, for a project titled "Characterizing Polar Mixed-Phase Cloud Properties and Variations with CloudSat, CALIPSO, and Other A-Train Satellite Measurements." This civilian grant, administered through a Shared Services Center within the federal government, supports scientific research to be conducted at Stony Brook University's location in Stony Brook, New York, with an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2027. The research initiative focuses on analyzing satellite data from NASA's A-Train constellation—specifically CloudSat and CALIPSO instruments—to better understand the properties and variations of mixed-phase clouds in polar regions, which has significant implications for climate modeling and atmospheric science.
This award reflects RFSUNY's established capabilities in executing sophisticated scientific research across multiple domains, including climate and environmental studies. The grant represents a non-competitive, direct research funding mechanism typical of federal support for university-based scientific investigation. As a major public research institution, Stony Brook University regularly receives substantial federal funding from agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy to advance fundamental scientific knowledge addressing critical national and global challenges.
