Description
The SH Science Center Will Carry Out Observational Experimental and Theoretical Research in Support of NASA Strategic Science Mission Objectives To:a.solar-Heliospheric Science: The Sun Geospace Other Planetary Space Plasma Environments and the Interactions and Couplings Among These Physical Regimes;b.the Informational and Computational Sciences Related to the Unique Needs of Data Systems and Models Required to Interpret Data from Heliophysics Science Missions; Andc.the Development of Instrument Technology and Theoretical Techniques Required to Meet These Scientific Challenges.this Cooperative Agreement Will Allow Substantial Programmatic Involvement in the Form of Collaboration Between GSFC and the Solar-Heliospheric Science Center as Well as Joint Development of Research Objectives.the Primary Goal Under the Resulting Cooperative Agreement Is to Establish a Focused GSFC/Research Partnership That:a.brings Together the SH Science Center and GSFC Scientists to Implement the NASA Strategic Goals in Heliophysics Science;b.enhances the Capabilities and Strengths of Participating Organizations in Heliophysics Science;c.provides Organization and Staffing Flexibility to Adapt to Evolving Research Program Needs;d.attracts Superior Scientists Necessary to Carry Out Programs Which Would Be Outside the Capabilities of Either Partner Working Alone;e.promotes the Involvement of Minority and Women Scientists in Space Science Research; Andf.facilitates Access to Student Talent and Provides Opportunities for Their Participation in NASA Programs.the SH Science Center Will Focus Primarily on Scientific Research. IT Is Expected to Strengthen Cooperative Relationships Between the Partner Institution and Government Scientists in the Goddard Heliophysics Science Division (HSD) and Will Provide a Vehicle to Increase the Involvement of the External Science Community in the Pursuit of NASA Goals. The SH Science Center Will Conduct Research Collaboratively with Organizational Elements Within the Goddard HSD (Code 670). Research May Involve Analysis of Data from Operating and Past Missions and Modeling and Design of Missions Planned or Under Development. Future Research Activities Will Evolve as a Function of Priorities Budgets Funding Opportunities and Success of Proposal Submissions.
