- The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $276,271 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. This grant supports planetary science research examining geologic evidence of ancient water flow on Mars and the climate conditions surrounding the formation of these features—a significant unsolved problem in planetary science. The work will be performed at the University of Colorado's...
- This is a grant award from a civilian federal agency to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research related to the interpretation of the primary geologic processes and history that formed the Martian geologic record, with a focus on the role of water. The award, valued at $553,420.67, will run until September 30, 2024. The research is directly relevant to the objectives of the Mars Returned Sample Science Participating Scientist Program and will leverage the geochemical and...
- This is a $218,133.46 grant awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) to conduct research on geochemical alteration processes on Mars. The research aims to determine which alteration processes and conditions are most compatible with the observed geochemical trends in sulfur-enriched rocks at the Meridiani and Gusev landing sites, and to incorporate this information into interpretations of the geologic history of those sites. The...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) received a $301,475 research grant from a civilian federal agency effective July 24, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of July 23, 2026. The research investigates the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) of Mars, which consist of mixtures of water ice and dust and are believed to contain a climate record spanning approximately 5 million years. The project will focus on determining the relative ages of layers and accumulation rates of ice...
- This $281,194.84 federal research grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to investigate whether microbial life existed on a young Mars. The 4-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2019 with a completion date of July 31, 2023, will fund fundamental research to expand scientific knowledge on the potential development of life beyond Earth. The University of Colorado, an...
- The University of Colorado has been awarded a $100,000 grant (Contract No. 23-PLANET23-0092) to conduct research on the influence of seasonal frost on the Mars South Polar Residual Cap through a spatial, temporal, and compositional survey. This research grant, awarded January 1, 2025 with a completion deadline of December 31, 2026, will be performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus. The award does not include a set-aside designation and represents funding from a civilian federal...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado was awarded an $807,328 grant on August 16, 2024, for research titled "Springtime North Polar Avalanches on Mars: A Nearly-Decadal Survey with MRO." The contract, funded through a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, supports scientific investigation utilizing data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) to study seasonal avalanche phenomena at the Martian north pole. Work will be performed at the University of Colorado's...
- This is a $525,592 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the non-profit Seti Institute. The grant will fund research to investigate the occurrence of the mineral jarosite and its aluminum-bearing counterpart alunite on the surface of Mars. This research aims to determine the environmental conditions that supported the formation and preservation of these indicator minerals, which can provide insights into the temperature, pH, and presence of liquid water...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado Boulder received a $566,481.88 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, effective January 1, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024.
