Grant For Research NNX16AC05G
- Not listed
- The University of New Hampshire, through the University System of New Hampshire, was awarded a $2.73 million research grant on February 25, 2019, to support the Gamma Ray Polarimeter Experiment (GRAPE), a scientific investigation designed to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) through advanced polarimetry measurements. GRAPE measures gamma-ray polarization in the 50 to 500 kiloelectron volt energy range to investigate the inner structure and physical processes of GRBs near their central engines. The...
- The federal contract award NNX17AC85G, valued at $300,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, to continue the development of a soft gamma-ray concentrator. The objective is to create a multilayer structure that can channel soft gamma-ray photons via total external reflection, enabling a compact soft gamma-ray telescope suitable for balloon-borne instruments. This work...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $100,000.00 grant for research to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The contract, titled "BEAM MEASUREMENTS OF THE GRAPE RESPONSE CHARACTERISTICS," has a period of performance ending on August 31, 2025. UNH, as a non-profit organization and 1862 Land Grant College, has experience providing...
- This federal contract award, valued at $524,570.00, was granted to the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) and its University of New Hampshire (UNH) division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The award, with a period of performance through May 31, 2026, is for a research grant focused on "The Evolution of Kinetic Entropy and Its Connection to Energy Transfer in Fundamental Processes." The contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AI70G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (SSC) of a civilian federal agency to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The two-year, $218,988.63 grant funds a program to re-analyze data from the Compton Telescope (COMPTEL) instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite, in search of evidence of polarization in both transient and...
- The University of New Hampshire (UNH), through its Office of Sponsored Research, has been awarded an $817,526 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the science goals and objectives of how the solar wind flowing past the terrestrial magnetosphere changes over time, including abruptly. No set-aside designation was used for this award. Work will be performed at a location in Lee, New Hampshire and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2024. UNH will...
- This federal contract award, valued at $877,523.99, was granted by a civilian U.S. government agency to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), a division of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The award is for the development and testing of a prototype instrument using a novel synthetic diamond Cherenkov radiator to measure the energy spectra of solar energetic particle (SEP) events, which are not fully understood. The project aims to extend the energy range of solid-state detectors...
- This federal contract award, valued at $773,969.13, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), a non-profit, 1862 land grant educational institution, to conduct research on the behavior of alpha particles in the solar wind. The project aims to develop analytical theories and numerical simulations to better understand the differential flow, anisotropic heating, and abundance variations of helium in the solar wind. The research...
- This federal contract award with ID 80NSSC19K0914 was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), which is part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH). The $872,263.00 grant funds research into the evolution and interaction of transient phenomena, such as interplanetary coronal mass ejections and small flux ropes, and their effects on galactic cosmic rays in the inner heliosphere. The research leverages data from...
- The University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating under the University System of New Hampshire, received a $121,487 research grant from a civilian federal agency effective December 1, 2024, through November 30, 2026. The grant funds a statistical analysis study titled "Investigating the Compression and Expansion of the Magnetopause: An MMS Statistical Analysis," with performance conducted in Lee, New Hampshire. This research initiative leverages the university's established expertise in...
This federal contract award to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is for the "Optimization of the GRAPE Polarimeter Design" project, which aims to develop and test an improved gamma-ray polarimeter instrument for studying gamma-ray bursts. The $558,894.27 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will allow UNH to advance the Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment (GRAPE) technology, building on previous balloon flight validations. The contract has no set-aside designation. UNH, as the prime contractor, will lead the research and development effort, drawing on its expertise as a land grant university and its experience supporting federal research initiatives across various agencies like NASA, NSF, and USDA. This contract represents the next step in UNH's long-term program to enable more comprehensive observations of these exotic cosmic phenomena through gamma-ray polarimetry.
