- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research related to the detection of biosignature gases on exoplanets. The $530,983.51 grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research aims to expand the understanding of potential biosignature gases beyond those found on Earth, including for planets with atmospheres lacking molecular oxygen and low UV radiation. The work will leverage multiple...
- This is a $4,010,470.00 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by a U.S. government civilian agency for a research project titled "STRANGE NEW WORLDS: CHARACTERIZING NEARBY M-DWARF HABITABLE ZONE PLANETS." The research is organized into four core tasks: (1) Planetary Processes, (2) Planetary Atmospheres, (3) Star-Planet Interactions, and (4) Exoplanet Observations. The goal is to develop models and frameworks to address scientific questions related to the search for life on...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $664,148 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to support research related to the discovery of planetary systems around ultra cool M-dwarf stars. Specifically, the grant aims to advance understanding of the Trappist-1 system, which consists of an M-dwarf star orbited by seven planets including three located in the habitable zone. No set-aside designation was specified. The work will be performed over a five-year period ending...
- 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...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $366,856.52 grant to The Johns Hopkins University for "LABORATORY EXPLORATION OF HAZES IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF THE ROCKY PLANETS AROUND M-DWARFS". This research grant, with a period of performance through December 31, 2023, will support Johns Hopkins' investigation into the characteristics of atmospheric hazes on rocky exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars. The award does not utilize a set-aside program. As a leading...
- This is a $3,264,796.24 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for a research project titled "Exoplanets Unveiled: Formation, Evolution and Prospects for Life". The project aims to study the properties of exoplanetary systems, their formation and evolution, as well as their potential to support life and motivate search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) programs. The research leverages advanced methods in planet detection, including radial...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $593,536 research grant by NASA effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports research related to NASA's space telescope missions, including Kepler, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which conduct photometric observations to detect exoplanet transits and study variable stellar phenomena. The work...
- 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...
- This is a $149,954.21 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the exploration of cool and hazy exoplanet atmospheres in the laboratory. The grant is focused on studying the role of clouds and hazes in exoplanet atmospheres, particularly for planets with average temperatures below 1000 Kelvin. The research aims to enhance understanding of the nature of clouds and hazes in the atmospheres of...
- The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $124,391.59 training grant contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract, awarded on September 1, 2018, is for the university to perform laboratory experiments investigating the habitability of temperate exoplanets around M-dwarf stars. This will involve determining the rate of haze production and measuring the physical and chemical properties of the haze in an atmospheric chamber...
