About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Catholic University of America (CUA) received a $1.58M cooperative agreement from NASA's Shared Services Center, with a performance period ending December 18, 2024. This award supports research in astrochemistry, astrobiology, and cometary science, focusing on elucidating the inventories of complex molecules in extraterrestrial environments and developing theories for understanding their formation and evolution. The work will be performed at CUA's Washington, D.C. campus. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition, and reflects CUA's established role as a significant contributor to NASA's research portfolio, particularly in space science and planetary research domains.

This cooperative agreement aligns with CUA's broader federal research mission, as the university has maintained an extensive portfolio of NASA-funded grants supporting investigations into solar physics, space weather, planetary science, and advanced technology development. As a private, non-profit research institution and the national university of the Catholic Church, CUA leverages its academic resources and scientific expertise to advance federal research objectives across multiple agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Defense.
