About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $998,854 research grant to The Johns Hopkins University on June 1, 2024, to support a project titled "Revealing Cross-Scale Geospace Coupling: The Nightside Transition Region and Its Auroral Manifestations." The award, funded through NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program, will support scientific research conducted at the university's Baltimore, Maryland campus through May 31, 2028. This grant represents a non-set-aside award granted through competitive selection, emphasizing Johns Hopkins' technical capabilities and scientific expertise in geospace research and magnetospheric physics.
The Living With a Star program funds investigations into the fundamental physical processes of the space environment and their effects on human activities and technological systems. This project specifically investigates cross-scale coupling mechanisms in Earth's magnetosphere, focusing on the nightside transition region and associated auroral phenomena. Johns Hopkins University, as a leading federal research institution with extensive experience in space science and NASA-funded research through its Applied Physics Laboratory and other departments, brings significant institutional capacity to advance understanding of geospace dynamics and coupling processes relevant to space weather and magnetospheric science.
