- This is a $414,149.79 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a private research university, to model the post-accretion cooling of water-rich exoplanets. The objective is to assess the conditions under which these exoplanets will cool sufficiently to condense liquid water oceans. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting the University of Chicago's status as a large, established...
- This is a $268,102.03 grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the origin of the volatile envelopes of small-radius exoplanets. The purpose is to improve understanding of the chemical and physical processes that govern exoplanet surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres, as well as the origins of their volatiles. The research will combine models of planet thermal evolution and outgassing to explore two scenarios for how water...
- This federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) provides $554,243.43 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the habitability of icy moons and exoplanets. The research aims to: Determine the effect of ice flow and ocean circulation on habitability under global thick ice cover, as could be found on Europa or icy exoplanets. Examine whether gaps in thick, near-global ice coverage can be maintained at the equator or substellar point, and the consequences for...
- This $495,428 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago supports research to characterize the atmospheres of potentially habitable exoplanets. This work aligns with major upcoming NASA missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as well as planned missions like LUVOIR, OST, and HabEx that aim to identify promising exoplanet targets. The grant is not set aside and funds the University of Chicago's cutting-edge research in...
- This $129,556.23 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was provided to the University of Chicago, a private research university, to support research on the effect of cloud microphysics on the climate and observational prospects of potentially habitable exoplanets. This research is a major goal for NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission as well as future missions such as LUVOIR, OST, and HABEX. The grant is intended to support the...
- This is a $134,664 training grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on September 1, 2020. The grant will fund research to model the processes that enabled the stability of surface liquid water on Mars later into its history, potentially extending the planet's habitability. The research aims to constrain the volume of water and number of outflow events required to produce observed surface features called "pollywogs," which...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a leading academic research institution, for the Emerging Worlds Program. The $512,777 grant is focused on answering fundamental science questions about how the solar system formed and evolved, including studies of materials and processes in the protoplanetary disk. The award does not have a set-aside designation and has a completion date of March 31, 2025....
- This is a $79,102.53 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The contract supports exoplanet phase curve observations, which measure a planet's emission as a function of longitude, a key legacy of the Spitzer Space Telescope. There is no set-aside designation for this award. The University of Chicago is a renowned private research university that receives substantial federal funding through contracts and grants to...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $256,831 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct scientific research on modeling the drying out of Mars. The specific focus of this research involves improving fundamental knowledge of how partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) affects the elevation and latitude distribution of surface liquid water potential, with the intent to apply these findings to understanding Martian atmospheric and hydrological processes. The grant is classified as...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $14,993 research grant by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) on January 1, 2024, to support research on photoevaporation from small planets orbiting young, active stars. The research will be conducted at the university's Chicago, Illinois campus with a completion date of December 31, 2024. This grant represents an open competition award with no set-aside designation and falls under the university's broader portfolio of federally...
