This $533,815 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), a non-profit research institute. The contract is for research on the composition of stratospheric aerosols, which can be dominated by large volcanic eruptions that inject sulfur into the stratosphere. NIA has previously supported NASA with a range of aerospace and atmospheric research services as a prime contractor and subcontractor, leveraging its...
This is a $558,075 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research and graduate education institute. The grant is for research to characterize the wet scavenging process, which is a dominant loss process for aerosols, but has high uncertainty in model parameterizations, contributing to large uncertainties in simulated aerosol loadings and radiative forcing. The grant does not have a set-aside...

The $439,151.00 grant funds a research project aimed at enhancing the understanding of atmospheric composition by investigating the impact of wildfires on emissions. The award does not have a set-aside designation. NIA, the prime contractor, is based in...
This is a $729,391 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research and education institute based in Hampton, Virginia. The grant is for NIA to serve as an interactive member of NASA's Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team (HAQAST), with the goal of enabling enhanced user decision-making for improving air quality and health. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $361,407.85 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to perform research on the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III on the International Space Station (SAGE III-ISS). The work will entail measuring in-situ profiles of stratospheric aerosol size distributions using newly developed optical particle and condensation nuclei...
This is a $401,251 federal grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Adnet Systems Inc., a minority-owned, for-profit small business. The grant is for research to support the SAGE III (Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III) instrument on the International Space Station and other global space-based aerosol measurement efforts, which contribute to NASA's Global Space-based Inter-Calibration System (GLOSSAC) program. The...
This federal contract award, valued at $688,278.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), a non-profit research institute based in Hampton, Virginia. The purpose of the contract is to develop more physically-based parameterizations of wet scavenging processes for aerosols in the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5) model. This work aims to improve the model's representation of aerosol loading, lifetime, and...
This federal contract award to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research institute, is for a $631,810 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the impacts of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai submarine volcanic eruption on stratospheric composition and climate. The five-year research grant, which commenced on May 23, 2023, does not have a set-aside designation. As a non-profit organization, NIA frequently collaborates with...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), also known as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The $587,951.20 grant is for studies of geophysical variability in measurements from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument on the International Space Station, focused on seasonal and inter-annual changes in the upper...
This federal contract award to the National Institute of Aerospace Associates (NIA), a non-profit research organization, facilitates the establishment and operation of a science and research institute. The $133,500,000.00 cooperative agreement is an extension of a previous contract (NCC1-02043) and was awarded by the Langley Research Center, a civilian agency within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract does not have a set-aside designation. NIA, which frequently...
