This Project Grant award of $182,965 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on plasma waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The project, titled "The Evolution of Magnetospheric Plasma Waves in Response to Solar Driving," aims to utilize multi-mission data to characterize the drivers, structure, and effects of these waves, which can accelerate electrons and impact atmospheric chemistry. As part of the effort, the project will also...
This $400,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE) program (CFDA 47.075) supports research to understand how socioeconomic heterogeneity within the U.S. scientific workforce impacts scientific discovery and innovation. The project aims to (i) create a unique individual-level dataset linking researcher socioeconomic backgrounds to scholarly topics, (ii) make an anonymized version of this dataset publicly available, (iii)...
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 $564,958 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports measurement, simulation, and mitigation of the impact of low-Earth orbit satellite constellations on wide-field optical surveys conducted by ground-based observatories. The University of California, Davis will pursue multiple mitigation strategies including developing novel algorithms for processing charge-coupled device images, strategies for avoiding the brightest...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.070) program to Georgia Tech Research Corporation to develop tools and models to guide the design of applications and network algorithms for low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. The 3-year project aims to improve understanding of the unique properties and variability of LEO satellite networks, and leverage this knowledge to enhance network protocols...
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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $119,245 to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to develop a plan for the coexistence between large communications satellite constellations like Starlink and precision scientific instruments vulnerable to radio frequency interference in the Antarctic. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: 1) Coordination with...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award in the amount of $399,975 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) funds research to identify "bright spots" of improving ecological conditions and human resilience, as well as "hot spots" of land degradation and human vulnerability. The project integrates household surveys, community-level interviews, and drone-derived imagery to understand...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $483,845 awarded on June 1, 2023 will fund research on the impact of mass media access on communal engagement in indigenous communities through 2026. Under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award supports a postdoctoral researcher to conduct surveys, interviews, and content analysis exploring the role of radio-based communication in understanding pathways for indigenous legal protections and sovereignty....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) provides $242,570 to the President and Board of Trustees of Santa Clara College to conduct research on differences in co-authorship patterns across a global landscape. The study aims to understand how the collaborative context affects scientific outcomes differently for scientists in various categories, focusing on the role of network structure in scientific...
