This federal contract award, valued at $446,221.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization based in California. The contract is focused on probing the physics of flare-associated quasi-periodic fast-mode propagating wave trains (QFPS), a new observational phenomenon discovered by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission. The research aims to provide critical new insights into the energy release processes of solar flares, a fundamental question in solar physics, as well as enable the use of QFPS as a diagnostic tool for coronal seismology. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting BAER Institute's specialized expertise in solar physics research and data analysis. This award is part of NASA's broader Science Mission Directorate, which supports scientific investigations to expand our understanding of the Sun, solar activity, and their impacts on Earth.
