- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $38,279 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the COMETS: CLUES TO CONDITIONS IN THE EARLY SOLAR NEBULA research project. This grant, with a period of performance through May 2026, supports the university's research into conditions in the early solar system. The University of Texas System, which includes UT Austin, has an extensive track record of receiving both federal contracts and grants for research across...
- This $312,064.17 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama to study Mercury's global-scale magnetic field. The research aims to improve understanding of Mercury's internal structure and the processes that led to its observed lithospheric magnetic field. Key objectives include determining the time-averaged non-dipolar structure of Mercury's core field, constraining the dynamo region within the outer core, and mapping the spatial...
- The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded a $460,566.60 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate Martian terrains using radar surface-echo characteristics. This grant, titled "MDAP STEP 1: DECIPHERING THE MARTIAN SURFACE AND NEAR-SURFACE WITH RADAR STATISTICS OBJECTIVES," aims to address a wide range of science objectives relevant to Mars research. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on...
- This is a $37,590.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to study the Earth's orientation parameters, including the length-of-day and rotation axis position. The grant supports long-term observational records of these Earth system characteristics, which can change over sub-daily to decadal timescales. As a public research university, UT Austin has an extensive track record of federal contract and grant awards,...
- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $306,429 research grant on August 29, 2023, to support high-rate, large-area deposition of magnetic materials for next-generation energy technologies. This civilian research grant, which will be performed in Austin, Texas, carries an ultimate completion date of August 28, 2027. The award was made without a set-aside designation, reflecting UT Austin's competitive standing as a leading research institution. The university, part of the broader...
- This is a $331,930 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to study the role of waves and turbulence in magnetic reconnection at the Earth's dayside magnetopause. The grant, which runs from February 2022 to August 2025, supports fundamental research in space physics. UTA, a Hispanic-Serving and Minority Institution, is the prime awardee and will leverage its research expertise and infrastructure to execute the...
- This is a $99,908.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on exoplanets. The research aims to study the dramatic changes that occur in the orbital, radius, and atmospheric properties of exoplanets in the first few hundred million years after their formation. This is a crucial period for evaluating models of exoplanet evolution, such as migration. The grant is a research contract with a...
- The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) has been awarded a $100,000.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the magnetosheath at multiple scales. This award, with a period of performance ending on August 31, 2025, is part of NASA's Earth Science Applications program and focuses on advancing research related to space weather phenomena. UTA, a Hispanic Serving Institution and Minority Institution, has extensive expertise in executing federal research...
- This is a $313,439.68 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to investigate the physical processes responsible for generating the magnetic fields, atmospheric circulations, and thermal emission patterns of the ice giants (such as Uranus and Neptune). The goal is to test the hypothesis that the dynamos and zonal winds are dynamically coupled and are a consequence of quasi-three-dimensional turbulence in the...
This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) supports research into the evolution of Mercury's core and magnetic field. The award, valued at $458,936.10, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Solar System Workings research program. The research will use interior evolution models and 3D numerical dynamo models to investigate how Mercury's core and dynamo-generated magnetic field have changed over time. This work is intended to further the program's objectives of understanding the internal structure, chemistry, and dynamics of solar system objects, as well as the configuration and evolution of planetary magnetic fields. The award has no set-aside designation and was made directly to UT Austin as the prime grantee. UT Austin is a public research university and component of the University of Texas System, which has an extensive history of federal research grants and contracts across diverse scientific domains.
