UCSB, as a public research university, has...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for a research project titled "Probing the Dynamics and Metal Content of Galactic Winds through Absorption and Emission Lines". The $148,389.00 grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. UCSB, as a renowned public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, will conduct fundamental and applied...
- This is a $520,337 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar wind turbulence and dissipation. The award aims to investigate how kinetic-scale fluctuations in the solar wind may contribute to heating and isotropizing the solar wind as it travels towards Earth. This research aligns with NASA's focus on understanding the physics of the Sun and solar system. The award was made directly to the...
- This is a $524,834 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for a research project investigating particle acceleration in space, solar, and astrophysical plasma environments. The goal is to better understand the formation of power-law energy spectra in these settings. The award has a period of performance from March 1, 2022 through February 28,...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research on directed energy propulsion for interstellar exploration. The award, valued at $99,926.00, is intended to help develop a system that can take a significant step towards interstellar exploration using directed energy propulsion and wafer-scale spacecraft. The goal is to supplement current remote sensing capabilities and work towards the...
- This is a $459,537 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant is for a research project to study the compressive component of solar wind turbulence observed by NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The project aims to measure and model the statistical properties of the compressive turbulence, investigate the mode structure and potential suppression of damping...
This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research related to nonthermal processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) and intracluster medium (ICM). The $404,704 grant will fund UCSB's work to study the role of cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and turbulence in physical processes in these multiphase plasmas. Key areas of research include cosmic ray heating, re-acceleration of cosmic ray electrons, Lyman-alpha scattering in turbulent media, and interactions between turbulence and shocks in galaxy clusters. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through full and open competition. UCSB has extensive experience conducting fundamental, unclassified research across scientific disciplines and frequently collaborates with other leading universities on federally-funded projects.
