About this award
American University, a private non-profit research institution located in Washington, D.C., has been awarded a $94,498 research grant by a civilian federal agency to support the project "Comprehensive Solar Eruption Models: Understanding Flare Arcades from the Global to Kinetic Scales." The award, issued on January 18, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of January 17, 2027, represents a non-set-aside grant funding scientific research aligned with the university's established expertise in solar physics and astrophysics. The research project focuses on developing integrated models of solar eruptions and flare arcades, bridging multiple scales of physical phenomena from global to kinetic processes—an area of significant importance to understanding solar dynamics and space weather impacts.
This award advances American University's substantial portfolio of federally-funded solar and planetary science research, building upon its prior work with NASA and the National Science Foundation on solar phenomena, including investigations of solar filament formation and specialized solar observation instrumentation. The research aligns with broader federal investment in solar physics and heliophysics, disciplines critical to advancing fundamental scientific understanding and supporting applications in space weather prediction and mitigation. The project will be conducted at the university's main campus in Washington, D.C., leveraging the institution's established research infrastructure and faculty expertise in advanced astrophysical modeling.
