About this award
The Catholic University of America (CUA) was awarded a $306,733 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center on June 25, 2024, with performance completion scheduled for June 24, 2027. The grant supports research titled "Comprehensive Solar Eruption Models: Understanding Flare Arcades from the Global to Kinetic Scales," which investigates solar physics phenomena critical to understanding space weather and solar activity. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive procurement. CUA, a private non-profit research institution located in Washington, D.C., serves as the prime contractor with direct performance responsibility at its Washington, D.C. campus.
This award aligns with NASA's heliophysics research priorities, which encompass investigations into solar dynamics, coronal mass ejections, solar flare energy budgets, and the solar atmosphere's response to energy input. CUA has established itself as a significant research partner for NASA's Shared Services Center, with a portfolio of solar physics and space weather grants typically ranging from $31,000 to over $1.3 million. The university's expertise in heliophysics and magnetospheric research, combined with its faculty capabilities in space science, positions it well to advance understanding of the complex physical processes governing solar eruptions and their potential impacts on Earth's space environment.
