The single award contract will be performed in...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Office of Sponsored Research was awarded a $333,228.61 research grant by a federal Shared Services Center on January 1, 2021, with a completion deadline of December 31, 2024. This civilian agency grant supports research addressing the orbital mechanics and characteristics of exoplanets, specifically investigating planets found on orbits highly misaligned from their host stars. The award was made without set-aside designation, allowing UNC-CH to...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $360,676.72 grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on exoplanet characterization. The research aims to use the SCExAO and CHARIS instruments on the Subaru Telescope to survey for new exoplanets around nearby young stars, obtain and characterize spectra of both newly discovered and known exoplanets, and use the spectra to infer the planets' properties and connect them to theories of giant...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Office of Sponsored Research was awarded a $243,496 research grant for a project titled "Gyro-Tagging: Identifying Members of Young Associations from Their Light Curves," with performance through January 30, 2027. This civilian agency grant supports astronomical research focused on characterizing young stellar associations through analysis of light curve data, a methodology relevant to stellar astrophysics and exoplanet discovery...
- The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) has been awarded a $401,578 federal grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on sediment loads in rivers and coastal ecosystems. This five-year grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will support UNC's research on managing the physical boundaries, navigability, and ecosystem impacts related to changes in sediment transport. UNC's Office of Sponsored Research will oversee this...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC25K0121, is a $250,000.00 grant for research awarded to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract requires UNC-CH to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The contract has an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2026. UNC-CH is...
- This is a $320,825.77 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university located in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a 6-year research effort to improve the understanding of dynamical architectures of planetary systems and the overall mass distribution of exoplanets using data from NASA missions like Kepler, James Webb Space Telescope, TESS, and WFIRST. The research will involve N-body numerical simulations to...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a grant for $143,198.00 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill) to conduct research on young exoplanetary systems. The research aims to study how planetary properties evolve over time by observing nearby young star clusters and star-forming regions using data from NASA's Kepler mission (K2). Specifically, UNC Chapel Hill will analyze Spitzer observations of two young exoplanets, K2-33b and K2-25b, in conjunction with the discovery K2 light curves. The goals are to characterize the atmospheric properties of these young planets and probe the reasons why they are statistically larger than older exoplanets. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and UNC Chapel Hill has a history of providing scientific research, education, and technical assistance to various federal agencies through contracts and grants.
