- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is a grant for $343,251.78 to conduct research on improving the quality of the magnesium II (Mg II) core-to-wing ratio, a critical proxy for solar activity and irradiance variability. The research aims to use high spectral resolution observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) along with data from the Solar Dynamics...
- This is a $692,829 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to resolve discrepancies among models and observational records of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability. The grant was awarded on August 20, 2021 and has an ultimate completion date of August 19, 2025. As an accredited public research university, the University of Colorado conducts fundamental research across...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is a $354,506.34 grant for research to improve historical reconstructions of total solar irradiance (TSI) measurements. The work will update the sunspot record used in TSI models, re-compute flux-transport model results, and continue improving the existing TSI composite that provides a 40-year record of variability and uncertainties in...
- This is a $496,259.67 grant award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for research on solar magnetic eruptions, which can drive major space weather phenomena like solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and solar energetic particle events. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 12, 2023 and was made on August 13,...
- This $34,776.53 grant award to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is for a research project to probe the magnetic nature of the sun's atmosphere. The grant requires measuring the Stokes I, Q, U, and V profiles of relevant spectral lines, which encode information about the sun's magnetic field. This research aligns with the University of Colorado's expertise in space physics, climate science, and other...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K1949, was granted to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $235,366.00 award is a grant for research to improve the accuracy of solar ultraviolet irradiance measurement and variability in the 115 nm to 300 nm range. This research is important due to observational gaps in the far ultraviolet. The University of Colorado, as a public research university, has...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian government agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) on September 1, 2021. The grant is for research to investigate the amount of magnetic energy (or Poynting flux) transferred through the quiet-sun photosphere. This research aims to improve the understanding of photospheric magnetic energy input and the chromospheric coronal response in the quiet sun. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August...
- This is a $215,240.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research related to improving recent Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) instrument records. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of August 19, 2026, does not have a set-aside designation, indicating CU's competitive capabilities across scientific and technological disciplines. As a prominent public research university, CU has a robust portfolio...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The $239,975.76 grant is for the University to establish the magnitude and temporal structure of the Sun's irradiance variability across ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths over time scales from months to decades. The goal is to consolidate this data into an improved proxy model of...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded a $39,863.38 research grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to conduct experimental determination of the ionization efficiency of meteoric magnesium. The award, issued on March 1, 2024, with a completion date of February 28, 2025, supports research activities to be performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus. This non-set-aside grant represents the type of fundamental scientific research that...
This federal contract award with ID NNX15AI53G was granted by the Shared Services Center on behalf of a civilian federal agency to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $315,829.40 grant supports the "Solar Spectral Irradiance: Lyman Alpha, Magnesium II, and Sigma K Proxies (SSIAMESE)" project, which aims to improve data records for three key solar variability proxies used in atmospheric and climate models. The work includes revising the Lyman-alpha composite, enhancing the Magnesium II index, and evaluating alternative proxies for visible-light variability. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university, the University of Colorado has a history of providing a range of research and development services to civilian agencies like NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Defense.
