About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $4.9 million research grant to the University of Wisconsin–Madison (a division of the University of Wisconsin System) on July 31, 2024, for the Polar Radiant Energy in the Far Infrared Experiment (PREFIRE). This civilian research grant, which carries no set-aside designation, will support research aimed at measuring and understanding fluctuations in Earth's thermal radiation, particularly focusing on capturing the complete spectrum of radiant energy in Arctic regions to improve understanding of the planet's energy balance and climate mechanisms. The project is scheduled for completion by July 30, 2027, and will be conducted at the university's Madison, Wisconsin campus.
The University of Wisconsin System, operating through its flagship Madison campus, is a leading public research institution with demonstrated expertise in diverse scientific domains including environmental science, climate research, and advanced computing. This award reflects the university's established capabilities in conducting complex, federally funded research initiatives and contributes to NASA's broader climate science and Earth observation priorities. The University of Wisconsin System serves as the prime contractor, leveraging its research infrastructure and technical expertise to advance understanding of Arctic energy dynamics and their implications for global climate systems.
