- This is a $151,161.62 training grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to support a promising female space scientist. The grant will fund a collaborative research project between UCLA and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) to study the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in depleting radiation belt relativistic electron fluxes, which is critical for space weather forecasting. The project will leverage the unique scientific capabilities...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $745,452 research grant from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on October 17, 2022, to develop advanced modeling capabilities for Earth's radiation belts. The project, titled "EO14042 Event-Driven Modeling of Earth's Radiation Belts," aims to improve understanding of key physical processes—including plasma density, magnetic field strength, and wave power—that control radiation belt dynamics by employing time...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, has been awarded a $67,311.00 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a "Radiation Belts Analysis and Modeling Library in Python". The grant, which runs through December 31, 2025, will support research and development of software tools to model and analyze data on the Earth's radiation belts. This work aligns with NASA's priorities in space...
- This federal contract award, valued at $447,319.66, was granted to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research into relativistic electron enhancements in the Earth's outer radiation belt. The award, with a completion date of February 7, 2024, aims to investigate the primary parameters that influence the position, extent, and intensity of these electron enhancements, and how they vary with electron energy. The...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The $1,372,880.77 grant is for a study to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effects of global-local interactions on the heating and acceleration of ions and electrons observed at Earth's magnetopause and in the magnetotail. The research aims to determine the origin of...
- This is a $463,067 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the role of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves and the magnetopause in the rapid dropouts of ultrarelativistic electrons in the Earth's radiation belt. The research aims to address key goals in NASA's Heliophysics Decadal Survey related to understanding the dynamics and coupling of the Earth's magnetosphere. The grant supports...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, has been awarded a $493,848.07 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a model that can specify and forecast the energetic particle environment and plasma conditions encountered by spacecraft within the Earth's magnetosphere. The two-year research effort will leverage an artificial neural network trained on data from various satellites, including Van Allen...
- This federal contract award, valued at $276,833.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the physical mechanisms that produce outer electron radiation belt enhancements. The project aims to create a cross-calibrated estimate of electron phase space density across the outer radiation belt region by combining data from the ERG/ARASE mission (JAXA) and the Van Allen Probes mission. This...
- This is a $516,746.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for research on the spatial and energy distribution of precipitating relativistic electrons within the drift and bounce loss cones. The grant is a non-set-aside contract type that runs from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2027. UCLA, a prominent public research university and 1862 Land Grant College, has a strong track record of executing federal...
- This federal grant award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is for a project titled "PREDICTING EQUATORIAL ELECTRON FLUX MEASUREMENTS FROM LOW EARTH ORBIT". The $150,000 grant, awarded on October 30, 2023, is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has an ultimate completion date of October 29, 2026. The grant is for research work, with no set-aside designation. As the prime grantee, UCLA will leverage its research capabilities and...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the response of the electron phase space density in Earth's radiation belts to stream interaction regions (SIRs). The study aims to advance the understanding of SIR effects on the radiation belts through in-situ observations, numerical modeling, data assimilation, and empirical modeling. This will help develop a forecast model to mitigate risks for human spaceflight and hardware in space. The grant, valued at $386,529.33, has a period of performance from April 1, 2016 to September 30, 2020 and does not have a set-aside designation. UCLA, as the prime contractor, will perform the work at its facilities in Los Angeles, CA. The agency providing the funding is NASA.
