About this award
The University of Delaware was awarded a $323,530 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on March 20, 2024, to optimize neutron monitor data products for space weather applications. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation and indicates open competition, is scheduled for completion by March 19, 2026. This research initiative supports NASA's efforts to improve the utility and accessibility of neutron monitor data—instruments that detect solar energetic particles and cosmic rays—which are critical for understanding and forecasting space weather events that can impact satellite operations, communications, and power systems on Earth.
As a major research institution with extensive experience in federal contracting, the University of Delaware brings significant scientific capability to this project. The university's track record includes substantial portfolios of grants and contracts across scientific and technological domains, with particular strength in environmental sciences, engineering, and advanced research. This award aligns with NASA's broader space weather research initiatives, which aim to enhance prediction capabilities and operational support for mitigating space weather hazards to critical national infrastructure. The research will be conducted at the university's Newark, Delaware campus.
