The University of New Hampshire, operating under the University System of New Hampshire, received a $335,795 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2029. This award funds the operation and maintenance of the Simpson Neutron Monitor Network facility, a ground-based research infrastructure consisting of particle detectors designed to monitor cosmic ray intensity striking Earth's atmosphere. The facility generates real-time and archived data products utilized by space science researchers, space weather forecasters, and the microelectronics industry to advance understanding of solar influence on the solar system and to support national space weather event identification and mitigation efforts. The Simpson Neutron Monitor Network delivers comprehensive data products and services, including real-time neutron count rates, pre-archived and archived datasets with multiple temporal resolutions, and high-resolution datasets available upon request. The facility supports interdisciplinary research investigations including studies of solar energetic particle anisotropy, measurements of particle energy spectra, and detection and analysis of solar-flare-neutron events. A key operational product is the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) Alert System, which provides real-time notifications of significant space weather events. The award integrates operations, maintenance, and data management functions necessary to sustain this nationally critical research infrastructure and its broad stakeholder community.
