Project Grant 80NSSC23K0176

This $2,363,871 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will fund the development of the HOP-Enabled Realtime Observatory Information and Coordination (HEROIC) service over a 3-year period. The HEROIC service will collate and publish real-time status information on observatories and instruments from a global network of ground- and space-based astronomical facilities. This will enable the astrophysics community to...

This $279,888 federal Project Grant was awarded by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program. The grant will fund the integration of the NSF-sponsored Madrigal database, which stores ground-based geoscience data, with the Heliophysics Application Programming Interface (HAPI) and Space Physics Archive Search and Extract (SPASE) data access and standardization tools. Key activities include:...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science awarded a $256,500 Project Grant to Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc., a small disadvantaged, woman-owned business located in Rome, NY. The award, funded under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), supports the development of an "Unattended Atmospheric Measurement System" with a performance period from February 18, 2025 to November 17, 2025. Helios Remote Sensing Systems specializes in advanced sensing...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $202,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to advance the field of heliophysics through automated machine learning and open-source integration. The project aims to develop an automated, open-source pipeline that leverages advanced computer vision techniques to enhance the detection, segmentation, classification, and extraction of physical parameters from solar images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Key...

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $133,088.88 Project Grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) under the Science (CFDA 43.001) federal grant program. The grant funding supports work to address systematic errors in physical quantities calculated from Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager filtergrams aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft. Specifically, AURA will analyze and correct for small but important...

This $558,790 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences supports a study on the spatio-temporal variability of solar energetic particles (SEPs) in the inner heliosphere. The University of New Hampshire (UNH) is the prime awardee, leading the project to gain better insights on SEP characteristics, including intensity, flux, and evolution. The project will leverage data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, along with...

The University of Colorado (UEI: SPVKK1RC2MZ3) received a $149,976 Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001) to advance the development of a new 3D visualization tool for the solar wind environment. Under a prior grant, the recipient brought the tool to Technology Readiness Level 4, and this award will support transitioning it to Readiness Levels 5-6 through validation testing within the operational workflows of...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides $249,479 to support the operation and maintenance of the 13 petabyte U.S. data archive for the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, located in Mexico but operated by the University of Maryland, College Park. The award funds critical engineering, technical, and operational support for the remote operations of the HAWC...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $620,904 to support numerical modeling of reconnection-generated transients in the solar corona. The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, will utilize the funding from March 15, 2022 through February 28, 2025 to conduct a comprehensive, multidisciplinary...

This $315,225 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2026. The grant supports a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and SRI to develop a new data infrastructure for sharing and archiving heterogeneously-derived data products from the Swarm-Over-Poker...
