- This is a $179,308.14 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the origins and evolution of solar wind turbulence and non-thermal electrons in the solar wind. The research will focus on how plasma beta affects the properties of the electron halo and kinetic turbulence, as well as the evolution of the electron velocity distribution function and kinetic-scale turbulence in the solar wind. The...
- This is a $779,997.20 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research over the next three years. The research will focus on topics central to NASA's Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) mission, including investigating irreversibility in particle-in-cell simulations, studying three-dimensional magnetopause reconnection and associated turbulence, and examining the cessation of...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to study the role of ion heat flux driven waves on ion transport, acceleration, and abundance enhancements in impulsive solar flares. The contract is a grant for research with a performance period ending on August 31, 2026. UMD is a prominent research university that frequently partners with federal agencies, including NASA,...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research and applications related to NASA's space-based observations. The $131,769.00 grant supports the continuation of stakeholder engagement and applications efforts started in 2013, with the goal of enabling greater impact of NASA's space-based observations in science and applications.

- This is a $447,928.44 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of Delaware to employ advanced global multi-temperature magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation to study fundamental problems of heating and acceleration of the solar corona and solar wind plasma. The research aims to understand how turbulence affects the properties of the solar wind, while also providing data to support upcoming Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions. The three-year project will refine the MHD model to...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $523,109.00 grant to the University of Delaware to conduct research on turbulence in the solar wind and its impact on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The research aims to create a comprehensive knowledge base on the intermittency of turbulence in the heliosphere, which can be used to improve models of SEP and GCR propagation and diffusion. The study will leverage data from NASA's Voyager, ACE,...
- This is a $99,997 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for research into foreshock and magnetosheath dynamics using a hybrid simulation code. The research will focus on ultra-low frequency waves, SLAMS (short large-amplitude magnetic structures), and high-speed jets. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park is the prime contractor, and the University System of...
- The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $554,913 grant by a civilian federal agency to investigate the roles of turbulence and reconnection in generating suprathermal seed populations for solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The research grant, awarded on July 23, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of July 22, 2027, will be conducted at the university's College Park, Maryland campus. This is an unset-aside grant for research that supports fundamental scientific...
- This federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) supports research into the dynamics of the solar wind, specifically investigating how the kinetic coupling of electrons and ions affects the large-scale behavior of the radially expanding solar wind. The research aims to address the "solar wind isotropy problem" - an observed phenomenon where the temperatures of solar wind electrons and protons become nearly isotropic, which has not been fully explained...
- This federal contract award, valued at $765,248.35, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), a prominent U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant college. The contract supports research to improve understanding of the production of energetic electrons in impulsive solar flares, which is an important topic for space weather science. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside...
