This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AE77G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a series of investigations on the mineralogic components of chondritic meteorites. The goal is to develop improved chronological constraints on the formation and aqueous evolution of asteroids, which aligns with NASA's objective to understand the formation and early evolution of the solar system. The...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the project "EVALUATING GEOCHRONOLOGIC COMPLEXITY AND IMPACTOR DIVERSITY OF HIGHLAND IMPACTITES". The $142,036.77 grant has an ultimate completion date of May 13, 2025. UCLA, a U.S. state government entity and 1862 Land Grant College, is the prime awardee and has demonstrated extensive capabilities in providing specialized research and...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $264,063.65 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on factors influencing crater size-frequency distributions and derived model ages of lunar and Martian surfaces. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to improve the understanding of the lunar crater chronology and address challenges with the application of this dating technique to other solar system bodies. As a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $130,076.23 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the formation environment of the solar system using short-lived radionuclides. This research grant, with a completion date of September 20, 2022, is not set-aside and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California. UCLA's Office of Research Administration, a division of the university, is managing this grant award. The work...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Office of Research Administration. The $525,937.01 grant is funding two research projects at UCLA: 1) experiments simulating the chemical and isotopic effects of collision-induced melting of planet precursors, and 2) analysis of the possible crystal chemical controls on high-precision oxygen isotope ratios in...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant contract to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) on September 1, 2018 with a performance period ending on August 31, 2021. The contract, which had no set-aside designation, supports a research project to characterize the timing and nature of chemical evolution occurring in the early solar system by conducting petrographic and isotopic analysis of carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. This...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 grant for research to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The grant supports the application of spaceborne imaging spectroscopy to study drylands, which cover 40% of the Earth's land surface and sustain over 2 billion people. As a public research university, UCLA leverages its facilities, faculty expertise, and partnerships to conduct research and...
