- This is a $209,853 grant awarded to Northern Arizona University (NAU) by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to conduct research on the climate history of planetary surfaces. The research uses present-day evidence to assess past and present-day climate processes on Earth and other planets, with a focus on the effects of water, atmosphere, and ice. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. NAU is a public research university serving as both a Hispanic-Serving...
This is a $208,215.74 grant awarded by NASA to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for research related to detecting signs of life on exoplanets. The project aims to develop a tool for analyzing exoplanet atmospheric compositions to identify potential biosignatures and indications of chemical disequilibrium. The research aligns with NASA's goals of understanding Earth and searching for life elsewhere, as outlined in its strategic plan and the Exobiology program. NAU, a public research university designated as a Hispanic Serving Institution, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and providing technical services to federal agencies across various domains, including planetary science, environmental monitoring, and Native American community support. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting NAU's competitiveness as a research institution. The work is intended to inform the development of future NASA missions tasked with characterizing potentially habitable exoplanets.
