About this award

The U.S. government agency NASA awarded a $1,285,295.70 grant to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and accredited public research university, to fund a Drive Science Center (DSC) research project. The project aims to determine whether a global magnetic field is essential for the retention of a substantial atmosphere on a planet, and therefore for the planet's surface habitability. This grant award is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle. The University of Colorado has previously received other federal research and development contract awards and grants from agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and NOAA for work across various scientific and engineering disciplines.
