"Conference: The 2025 HamSCI Workshop" This will support the 2025 HamSCI Workshop hosted , as well as support for participants who are needed to ensure the success of this workshop. The 2025 HamSCI workshop will advance scientific understanding by enabling direct, face-to-face communication between professional space scientists and amateur radio operators.
Grant Agreement 1585H (ARDC)
"The 2025 HamSCI 2025 Workshop Hosted by NJIT" This grant supports diverse participation in the Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation
(HamSCI) workshop to be held at New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey
March 14-15, 2025. The annual HamSCI workshop aims to bring together members of the
amateur radio and professional radio space science communities for mutual benefit.

"An e-POP investigation of the ionosphere-thermosphere system's regional response to the December 4, 2021 solar eclipse"
The overarching objective of this project is to organize and oversee a one month-long measurement campaign using e-POP to deduce the IT system’s response to the December 4, 2021 eclipse.

"An Examination of the Response of the Ionosphere-Thermosphere System to the 2024 Solar Eclipse"
The overarching goal of this project is to run a coordinated campaign and strategically deploy new instruments which, alongside existing ground-based infrastructure near the path of the eclipse, provide measurements that can maximize the scientific returns from this rare opportunity.

"Solar Eclipse QSO Party 2.0: Amateur Radio Citizen Science to Study the Ionospheric Effects of the 2024 American Total Solar Eclipse"
This project is focused on the ionospheric response to the 2024 total solar eclipse through a series of large-scale citizen science experiments known as the HamSCI Festivals of Eclipse Ionospheric Science, which includes the Solar Eclipse QSO Parties (SEQPs). The citizen scientists will come from the amateur radio community.

"A HamSCI investigation of the bottomside ionosphere during the 2023 annular and 2024 total solar eclipses"
In this we will leverage the efforts and technical expertise of citizen
scientists—HamSCI participants—taking part in FoEIS activities to study the effects of the eclipse on the ionosphere-thermosphere system, and then develop an observational framework that will allow the HamSCI collection target other heliophysical processes.
