Key 11 (Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor)
NASA has selected three science centers to continue their work to address grand challenge science goals. Called Diversify, Realize, Integrate, Venture, Educate (DRIVE) Science Centers, they support science that requires more than individual investigators or small teams and support supporting multi-institution, multi-/inter-/trans disciplinary collaborations. They bring synergistic, coordinated efforts to achieve innovative, breakthrough science that is both ambitious and achievable. The DRIVE Centers use the wide range of expertise in their diverse science teams – scientific, computation, and educational – to deliver on major advances in the field of heliophysics. NASA Space Weather Program has also included Space Weather Centers of Excellence (SWxC) in its portfolio. These are integrated multi-agency efforts to advance the science and technology of space weather. Like the Science DRIVE Centers, the SWxC program element is envisioned as supporting multi-institution, multi-/inter-/trans disciplinary collaborations that address grand challenge goals of space weather, and which are ambitious in scope and transformative in nature. This session invites the DRIVE and SWxC teams to present on their Centers, achievements, and outlook.
