- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Division (doing business as the University of Michigan), a U.S. state government entity and educational institution. The grant, valued at $376,574.00, supports a research project to quantify the importance of stochastic ion heating in removing energy from turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind, compared to other heating...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $311,023 grant for research to the Regents of the University of Michigan (doing business as the University of Michigan) to study the connection between the solar wind and its source regions in the Sun's corona. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, has a completion date of April 30, 2025. The University of Michigan is a U.S. state government entity and educational institution that has previously...
- This is a $970,125.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct research on the "Magnetic Evolution of Complex Coronal Mass Ejection Structures in the Solar Wind." The award is for a 4-year period of performance from May 2024 to May 2028. The University of Michigan is a highly regarded research institution that has previously received prime and subcontract...
- The Regents of the University of Michigan, through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, received a $281,444 research grant award from a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) to investigate implications for coronal energy partitioning from in-situ measurements of heavy ion abundances and solar wind entropy. The award, issued January 1, 2025, represents a non-set-aside competitive grant with a completion date of February 28, 2027. Research activities will be conducted at the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $73,000.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on "Mesoscale Structures in the Solar Wind Observed by Solar Orbiter". This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from February 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. The Regents of the University of Michigan, a leading U.S. public research university, will be the prime contractor for this research grant. While no...
- The Regents of the University of Michigan received a research grant valued at $507.3K under contract 22-SWROR22_2-0002 for "Real-Time Solar Wind Predictions with Ensemble MHD Simulations Combined with Data Assimilation." Awarded on February 23, 2023, with completion targeted for January 8, 2026, this civilian research grant supports computational modeling and forecasting work to be performed at the university's Ann Arbor campus. The project combines magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ensemble...
This federal contract award, NNX17AD37G, was granted to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct a three-year spectroscopic investigation into the origin of the solar wind and its dependence on the solar cycle. The $328,951 grant will allow the university to use data from instruments like CDS, SUMER, EIS, and IRIS to study the properties of equatorial and polar coronal holes and monitor their response to solar cycle changes from 1996 to 2015. The research aims to address key questions about the unified wind scenario that divides the solar wind into a wave-driven steady wind and a reconnection-driven variable wind. This work is directly relevant to goals of the Heliophysics Decadal Survey to determine the origins of solar activity and predict variations in the space environment. The award does not mention any set-aside designation.
