About this award
Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) was awarded a $261,499 research grant on July 1, 2024, to investigate the connections between driving conditions, magnetosphere-ionosphere-ground properties, and extreme geomagnetic and geoelectric disturbances. The grant, which is non-set-aside and funded through a Civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, will be performed in Blacksburg, Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026. This research contributes to understanding the complex interactions between solar-driven magnetic phenomena and Earth's atmospheric and ground systems, which has implications for critical infrastructure protection and space weather forecasting.
As a leading public research institution, Virginia Tech brings substantial capabilities in scientific research and advanced technical analysis to support this space weather initiative. The university has a demonstrated track record of conducting high-impact federally funded research across multiple scientific domains, including work with the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Energy, NASA, and the Department of Defense. This particular award supports fundamental scientific inquiry that could enhance understanding of extreme geomagnetic events and their potential impacts on terrestrial systems and infrastructure.
