The grant is a research contract with a performance period ending on December 31, 2026. IIT is a private research university in Chicago that frequently partners with federal agencies on scientific and technical projects. This...
- This federal contract award, valued at $568,664.86, was granted to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsored Research and Programs Division, doing business as I I T, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract is for a research grant to identify extreme storm patterns, with a period of performance through December 31, 2023. IIT is a renowned PhD-granting research university with extensive experience supporting the U.S. government through prime contracts...
- This $210,184 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Sponsored Research and Programs Division to empower data management, diagnosis, and visualization of cloud-resolving models (CRMs). CRMs are atmospheric numerical models that can resolve clouds and cloud systems at very high spatial resolution, playing critical roles in many NASA satellite missions and science projects. However, the large data volume and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $564,892.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) for research to advance remote sensing techniques using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reflectometry to monitor freshwater surface properties, particularly seasonal ice formation on the Laurentian Great Lakes. The effort aims to develop methods to differentiate liquid freshwater from lake ice cover, with the goal of...
- This federal contract award was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Illinois to quantify the role of heavy ions in the Earth's ionosphere-magnetosphere system and further develop the polar wind model. The $90,000.00 grant for research does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Illinois, a public land-grant research university, will be delivering the research products and services under this contract. This award appears to be part of the...
- The federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1231, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for a federal agency) to the University of Illinois. The contract, valued at $474,419.17, is a grant for research to quantify the relative contribution of N+ ions to the total heavy ion population in the near-Earth environment. The project will use simulations and observations from NASA missions like MMS, Van Allen Probes, and THEMIS to understand the physical processes controlling the...
- This is a $143,551.05 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of the project is to develop an adaptive hybrid computational model that combines kinetic ion and fluid electron descriptions to enable more detailed simulations of turbulent solar wind conditions and their impacts on the Earth's magnetosphere. The model will be integrated with global...
- This is a $450,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is part of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program and aims to use a systems-science approach to increase understanding of the connections between the solar wind and the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The key objectives of the grant are to determine the dominant correlations and time lags...
- This is a $269,682 research grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is for a project titled "Are Coulomb Collisions Sufficient to Predict Observed Non-Thermal Solar Wind Electrons, Including Their Heat Flow?" The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating SSI competed for the award based on scientific and technical merit. As a prime contractor, SSI has extensive...
