About this award
Catholic University of America (CUA) has been awarded a $41,845 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center with a completion date of September 30, 2026. The grant supports an investigation into the magnetic reconnection rate at the dayside magnetopause using the Lockwell and Smith (1992) formulation combined with a machine learning-based model of the low altitude Northern Cusp. This civilian research initiative will be performed in Washington, D.C. and represents a competitive procurement with no set-aside designation applied.
This award aligns with NASA's broader heliophysics and magnetospheric research portfolio, which CUA has consistently supported through its established expertise in space science. As a private, non-profit research institution, CUA maintains an extensive federal grant portfolio encompassing multiple agencies and scientific disciplines, with particular strength in solar physics, space weather, and atmospheric dynamics research. The university will serve as the prime contractor with direct performance responsibility for this investigation.
Description
This project aims to investigate the magnetic reconnection rate in the dayside magnetopause by using the formulation presented by lockwood and smith (1992) and a machine learning-based model of the low altitude northern cusp that provides energy
