This $185,061 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), aims to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication abilities. The 54-month project, led by the University of Missouri in collaboration with Arizona State University, will develop an "iVISIT" virtual field trip platform to deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences. The project seeks to...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
This $177,334 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support imaging and spectral observations of the 2023 and 2024 total solar eclipses conducted by President and Trustees of Williams College. Key deliverables include high-resolution Fabry-Perot and Lyot/Halle filter observations of the solar corona, high-frequency (>1 Hz) power spectra measurements of coronal loops to study coronal heating...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $215,044 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct the Citizen CATE (Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse) Next-Generation 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Experiment. This collaborative project between SwRI, the National Solar Observatory, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research aims to deploy 40 teams of citizen scientists along the path of the April...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.076 - STEM Education) provides $1,015,310 to Arizona State University to investigate the use of web-based virtual field trips to improve student learning and spatial communication skills in STEM fields. Over a 54-month period from July 2024 to December 2028, the project aims to develop an "iVisit" virtual field trip platform that can deliver multi-user, synchronous, situated learning experiences to students...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $182,730 to Predictive Science Incorporated to analyze data from five total solar eclipses between 2015-2024. The research aims to improve understanding of the Sun's corona, the hot outer layer of the solar atmosphere, by studying changes in coronal properties like temperature, density, and magnetic field structure over the solar cycle. The project will compare the eclipse observations to...
This $238,190 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between the University of Colorado Denver and the University of California, Berkeley to study the lower ionosphere during the 2024 solar eclipse in the eastern United States. The researchers will make very low frequency radio observations before, during, and after the eclipse to better understand the spatial and temporal scales of ionization and...
This $254,636 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to determine if virtual field experiences (VFEs) can effectively train students in scientific observation skills and influence their attitudes toward pursuing science careers. The project, led by Sonoma State University, a Hispanic Serving Institution, will compare learning and attitudinal outcomes between students who participate in virtual versus in-person field experiences in...
This $215,044 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences supports the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (Citizen CATE) experiment for the 2024 total solar eclipse. The grant will fund the deployment of 40 teams of citizen scientists along the path of totality to collect over 60 minutes of high-resolution polarimetric data on the solar corona. The research aims to better understand the physical processes that shape the heating,...
Arizona State University was awarded a $299,840 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education under the federal STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant funds the development and delivery of a fully online course-based undergraduate research experience for astronomy majors titled "Bringing Authentic Research to the Remote Classroom." The project aims to provide remote students...
