The grant is for a 3-year period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028. The purpose of the grant is for UCSB to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. UCSB will participate as a key...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $313,807 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accretion columns across multiple luminosity regimes, ranging from low-luminosity accreting X-ray pulsars to ultra-luminous X-ray sources. The grant, awarded on January 7, 2020, with a completion date of January 6, 2025, represents fundamental astrophysics research that advances understanding of high-energy phenomena in...
- 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...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) has been awarded a grant valued at $163,134 through a civilian federal agency to support the NSTGRO (National Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunity) fellowship program. This initiative focuses on enabling graduate student research and development of advanced and innovative space technologies essential for the nation's exploration and understanding of Earth, the solar system, and the universe. The award, issued on August 29, 2025, with...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $165,000.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on how humans are interacting with the natural world. The award, Contract ID 80NSSC20K1475, is for a project that will develop techniques and products to utilize NASA and partner organization resources in novel ways to expand our understanding of human-environment interactions. The award does not have a set-aside designation,...
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.
