This $212,120 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research into the impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather conditions. Led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in collaboration with Clemson University, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from May 1, 2022 to April 30, 2025, the research will advance...

This three-year, $289,049 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research exploring the response of the magnetosphere to terrestrial weather. Specifically, the awardee Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates LLC (dba Orion Space Solutions) will investigate the extent to which sudden stratospheric warmings can impact the spatial and temporal variability of the upper ionosphere and magnetosphere using the Multiscale...

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...

The primary products and services delivered under this award include high-resolution computer...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $523,833 will fund research into impacts of atmospheric waves and geomagnetic disturbances on space weather through April 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to increase understanding of the integrated Earth system, the awardee Clemson University will collaborate with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Virginia...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $109,432 to Atmospheric & Space Technology Research Associates LLC (doing business as Orion Space Solutions) to characterize whistler-mode wave properties in the plasmasphere-plasmatrough transition regions. The research aims to improve understanding of the combined effects of chorus and hiss waves on the Earth's radiation belt environment, which can impact spacecraft and aviation....

This $719,982 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate how the breaking of mountain waves affects space weather at altitudes of 100-200 miles above the Earth's surface. The research team from Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra) will study the impact of these mountain wave-driven turbulence and large-scale waves on the formation of traveling ionospheric...

Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (CFDA 47.050 – Geosciences) awarded $299,673 to The Regents of the University of Colorado for a two-year project (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2028) investigating the impact of solar energetic particles (SEPs) on Earth's high-latitude regions. The project analyzes measurements from more than a dozen SEP events recorded by the Relativistic Electron and Proton Telescope Integrated...
