About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $664,148 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to support research related to the discovery of planetary systems around ultra cool M-dwarf stars. Specifically, the grant aims to advance understanding of the Trappist-1 system, which consists of an M-dwarf star orbited by seven planets including three located in the habitable zone. No set-aside designation was specified. The work will be performed over a five-year period ending in April 2025 at The Johns Hopkins University campus in Baltimore, Maryland. This award builds upon NASA's efforts to discover exoplanets and characterize planetary systems around other stars to better understand the prevalence and potential habitability of Earth-sized worlds.
