- 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 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 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 $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 and mentorship at GSFC and UCLA, building on their existing space weather research programs. It utilizes data from various NASA, NOAA, JAXA, and NSF missions to understand this key space weather process, addressing national priorities and strategic objectives. The research will employ a three-pronged approach of case studies, statistical analysis, and modeling. This grant does not have a set-aside designation and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles. The State of California Controller's Office, as UCLA's parent organization, provides administrative support for the project.
