- This $568,185 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to study the origin and evolution of jets emanating from coronal holes on the Sun. The project, titled "SHINE: Statistical Birth Conditions of Coronal Hole Jets Using the Legacy Dunn Solar Telescope," will use measurements from the Dunn Solar Telescope in New Mexico and other observatories to trace the properties of these jets across different atmospheric...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $388,769 awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports multi-wavelength spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric diagnostics of the solar atmosphere from April 2021 through March 2024. The University Corporation will utilize observations from the Dunn Solar Telescope and SDO/HMI to develop new non-force-free magnetic field extrapolation codes. These codes will estimate magnetic field line heights and strengths surrounding sunspots....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), awarded a $335,047 Project Grant to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct a study on photospheric bright points as drivers of solar coronal heating. The 3-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2023, will utilize observations from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope to identify, track, and measure the properties of photospheric bright points - small, short-lived features on the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $120,555 Project Grant to The University of Alabama in Huntsville under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to study solar flare-producing active regions.

- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences CAREER Project Grant, awarded to New Mexico State University on March 15, 2026, provides $382,856 in federal funding through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support solar physics research through February 28, 2031. The project, "Hunting Magnetic Fingerprints on the Sun: A Tale of Flare-Jet Connections," addresses the critical need for improved short-notice forecasting of solar flares, which...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), is focused on characterizing the energy release and heating mechanisms during solar flares. The $157,626 grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will support a collaborative research effort between the Catholic University of America (CUA) and other partners. The project aims to combine numerical modeling with...
This $473,175 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research by the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, and the University of Alabama, Huntsville. The funding will be used to analyze observations of sunspots from the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) to better understand the dynamics of small-scale jets and bright dots in and around sunspot penumbrae. This research aims to improve the understanding of fine-scale solar phenomena, which can contribute to space weather events like coronal jets and mass ejections. The project will also provide research opportunities for undergraduate and high school students, as well as strengthen the partnership between the awardee organizations and the National Solar Observatory. The award is funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049).
