TARGETED
RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY (TR&T) ELEMENT
The LWS Targeted Research and
Technology (TR&T)
program provides a physics-based understanding of the integral
system linking the Sun to the Earth, both directly and
 via
the heliosphere, magnetosphere, and ionosphere. Research
proposals from the scientific community are selected and funded
on the basis of relevance to LWS objectives, likelihood of
success, and the description of a credible set of deliverables. Research
tasks include data analysis, theory and modeling, and the development
of tools and methods (e.g. software). Research topics
 include
the analysis of the energetic particles that pose a hazard
to astronauts and technology, and the effects of solar variations
on the terrestrial climate.
