About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $997K research grant on August 1, 2024, for "Coronal Mass Ejections from Sun to Earth: Understanding Evolution and Substructures through Simulations and Observations" under solicitation 23-LWS23_2-0050. The grant, which extends through July 31, 2028, supports research conducted at the university's Baltimore, Maryland campus. This award carries no set-aside designation, indicating it was competitively awarded based on technical merit. The project addresses critical solar physics research, combining computational modeling with observational data to advance understanding of coronal mass ejections—powerful releases of plasma and magnetic field from the sun that can impact space weather and Earth's magnetosphere.
Johns Hopkins University, a leading federal research institution, is well-positioned to execute this work given its established expertise in space science, engineering, and complex research through its Applied Physics Laboratory subsidiary and broader research portfolio. The university maintains extensive experience delivering sophisticated research services to NASA and other federal agencies across multiple scientific domains. This grant supports fundamental scientific investigation that contributes to NASA's broader mission of understanding solar dynamics and space weather phenomena, which has direct applications to satellite operations, communications systems, and astronaut safety.
