About this award
The Catholic University of America (CUA) has been awarded a $54,635 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with performance to be completed in Washington, DC by December 22, 2026. The award, issued December 23, 2025, supports comprehensive research on Earth's hydrogen exosphere—the vast, tenuous cloud of neutral hydrogen atoms extending from the planet's outermost atmospheric layer into space. This non-set-aside grant represents CUA's continued engagement in space science research, aligning with the university's substantial portfolio of federally-funded investigations in heliophysics, atmospheric dynamics, and planetary science.
CUA, a private nonprofit research institution and the national university of the Catholic Church in the United States, serves as the prime contractor with direct performance responsibility. The university maintains an extensive federal research portfolio spanning multiple agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense, with grants typically ranging from approximately $31,000 to over $1.3 million. CUA's established expertise in space weather, solar physics, atmospheric phenomena, and related scientific disciplines positions the institution as a key research partner for civilian space science investigations conducted through federal shared services centers.
