- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Office of Research Administration. The $525,937.01 grant is funding two research projects at UCLA: 1) experiments simulating the chemical and isotopic effects of collision-induced melting of planet precursors, and 2) analysis of the possible crystal chemical controls on high-precision oxygen isotope ratios in...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) provides $426,857.77 in funding to characterize the distribution of stable silicon isotopes in the interstellar medium across the galaxy. The objective is to provide context for interpreting the significance of solar system stable isotope ratios, which could indicate whether the solar system's formation was atypical. The award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), acting through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $423,979.57 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct coordinated petrologic, mineralogical, and isotopic investigations of early-formed nebular condensates preserved in chondritic meteorites. This research aims to better constrain the earliest environments in the solar nebula and shed light on the formation and early evolution of the solar...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant contract to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) on September 1, 2018 with a performance period ending on August 31, 2021. The contract, which had no set-aside designation, supports a research project to characterize the timing and nature of chemical evolution occurring in the early solar system by conducting petrographic and isotopic analysis of carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. This...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AE77G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a series of investigations on the mineralogic components of chondritic meteorites. The goal is to develop improved chronological constraints on the formation and aqueous evolution of asteroids, which aligns with NASA's objective to understand the formation and early evolution of the solar system. The...
- This is a $699,981.10 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency of the U.S. government) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a three-year research project to measure the isotopic compositions of select light elements in solar wind samples returned by the Genesis Discovery Mission and from regolith particles of the Itokawa asteroid. The overarching goal is to derive accurate, mass-fractionation corrected, photospheric isotopic abundances of boron, carbon,...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AB53G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), operating through its Office of Research Administration. The $218,425.00 grant is for research related to extrasolar cosmochemistry, specifically investigating interior models of extrasolar rocky planets, the variation in oxygen-to-carbon abundance ratios among extrasolar planetesimals, and evidence of plate tectonics on extrasolar planets....
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $130,076.23 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the formation environment of the solar system using short-lived radionuclides. This research grant, with a completion date of September 20, 2022, is not set-aside and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California. UCLA's Office of Research Administration, a division of the university, is managing this grant award. The work...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0794, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), specifically its Office of Research Administration division. The two-year, $102,938.99 grant supports a petrologic-geochemical study to investigate secondary alterations in Apollo 14 high-alumina mare basalts, especially rock sample 14072, and continues research on similar alterations in...
- This federal contract award, valued at $749,931.32, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to conduct research on kinetic isotopic fractionation of solar system materials. The research aims to provide laboratory calibration experiments under controlled conditions to quantify isotopic and chemical fractionation effects observed in early solar system materials, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and olivine crystals from...
This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC19K0511, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as the prime contractor. The $619,809.28 grant supports research into the use of stable isotope ratios to investigate the formation and early evolution of rocky planets and planetary bodies in the solar system. The objectives of the research include calibrating models for isotope fractionation during the evaporation of magma oceans on planetary precursors, which could explain observed heavy isotope enrichments in elements like magnesium, silicon, and iron in differentiated bodies like Earth, Mars, and the Moon. The work aims to provide definitive data to test hypotheses about how planetary chemistry and isotopic signatures were shaped by evaporative processes during the formation of the solar system. This research aligns with the goals of NASA's "Emerging Worlds" program to understand the formation and early evolution of planets. The contract has no set-aside designation and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles.
