- This is a five-year, $511,291.16 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution. The grant supports a study of lunar impact melt flows, which aims to characterize the properties and behavior of superheated impact melt through geological mapping, experimental simulation, and numerical modeling. The project will leverage expertise in planetary science, materials science, and igneous processes to provide insights into fundamental...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $832,836 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity. This 5-year grant (ending December 31, 2027) supports UF in executing a balanced science program aligned with discipline-specific guidance, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The grant aims to advance UF's participation as a key...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $719,896 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), effective January 1, 2025, with completion targeted for December 31, 2027. This civilian agency funding supports research aligned with NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) program, which prioritizes a balanced science portfolio grounded in National Academies guidance and congressional direction. The award will be...
- The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $500,000 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, with performance to be conducted in Gainesville, Florida and completion targeted for February 19, 2027. This award supports NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) funding opportunity, which aims to execute a balanced science program aligned with National Academies guidance and agency...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $209,472.05 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate density anomalies in the lunar subsurface using data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The work aims to provide insights into the early geologic evolution of the Moon, which has been largely obscured by heavy bombardment and volcanic resurfacing. The grant supports research to leverage...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $163,232 grant for research on "A New Class of Bimodal NTP/NEP with a Wave Rotor Topping Cycle Enabling Fast Transit to Mars" by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. UF, a major research institution, will conduct this cutting-edge research related to advanced propulsion systems for space exploration. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $399,826 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research relevant to NASA's Emerging Worlds program. The research will focus on studying melt inclusions and minerals in Apollo lunar samples to characterize the budget of volatiles acquired by the early primordial Moon and use this information to constrain the origin and evolution of the Moon. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation, and the...
- The University of Notre Dame's Office of Research has been awarded a $134,070 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the composition and formation of lunar materials. The goal of the project is to better understand the lunar magma ocean theory by analyzing samples from the Apollo moon missions. The research aims to examine individual mineral grains in lunar rock samples to explain the apparent overlap in radiometric age dates between the ferroan...
- This is a $493,305 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant public research university in Hawaii. The grant is not associated with a set-aside program. The grant funding supports three key research objectives: 1) characterizing the mobility of phosphorus in olivine crystals in the lunar crust and upper mantle, 2) determining if the phosphorus enrichment observed in a previous study...
- The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $577,434.00 federal grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on potential habitable zones on Mars. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research will focus on identifying areas on Mars where liquid water may be periodically stable, such as melting frosts or inclusions within subsurface ices, which could indicate the presence of habitable zones. As a major...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,807.99 grant (NNX16AQ17G) to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on lunar crust building processes. The three-part research effort aims to: 1) experimentally test whether the KREEP reservoir is essential for lunar Mg-suite magmatism, 2) determine trace element partition coefficients relevant to Mg-suite magmas, and 3) constrain relationships among Mg-suite samples from the Apollo 17 mission to assess if they were derived from a single layered intrusion. This grant, which does not utilize any set-aside designations, is intended to address key outstanding questions about the lunar crust, including the global nature of Mg-suite magmatism, the relationships between Mg-suite lithologies, and the age of the Mg-suite. The University of Florida, as a public land-grant research institution, has considerable experience conducting federally-funded research across domains such as agriculture, biomedicine, aerospace, and more.
