About this award
The Trustees of Boston University received a $480,791 research grant from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, awarded on January 1, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024. The grant supports scientific research focused on measuring dust grain growth and settling in protoplanetary disks, assessing disk masses that serve as reservoirs for planet formation, and examining disk clearing processes potentially linked to planet-disk interactions. These investigations address fundamental questions in planetary formation and represent critical steps in understanding how planets develop from protoplanetary material. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
As a comprehensive research university with extensive federal research partnerships, Boston University leveraged its expertise in space exploration and astrophysical sciences to conduct this research initiative. The project was performed at the university's Boston, Massachusetts campus. This grant exemplifies Boston University's role as a key federal research partner, consistent with its portfolio of awards from agencies including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and National Science Foundation for advancing fundamental scientific knowledge across multiple disciplines including planetary science and astrophysics.
Description
We will measure dust grain growth and settling, two critical steps in planetesimal formation, disk masses, which set the reservoir for planet formation, and disk clearing, which may be linked to planet-disk interactions.
