About this award
The Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization based in Moffett Field, California, was awarded a $515,779 cooperative agreement by the Shared Services Center to support broad-spectrum lunar, near-Earth asteroid (NEA), and Martian moon studies. The award, which commenced on September 5, 2025, and extends through September 4, 2028, encompasses investigations of the surface, interior, exosphere, genesis, evolution, and near-space environments of these celestial bodies. The cooperative agreement does not utilize a set-aside designation, reflecting BAER Institute's specialized scientific capabilities in planetary research, data analysis, and computational modeling that make it uniquely qualified to execute this work.
BAER Institute brings substantial expertise to this effort through its demonstrated portfolio of advanced scientific research and interdisciplinary investigations supported by federal agencies including NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, and the National Science Foundation. The institute's capabilities in machine learning algorithms, cloud computing platforms, and sophisticated data analysis position it to deliver complex scientific investigations into planetary atmospheres, lunar regolith, and the physical characteristics of bodies within the inner solar system. This cooperative agreement aligns with NASA's broader planetary science objectives and contributes to foundational research that informs lunar exploration, asteroid characterization, and Mars mission planning initiatives.
