About this award
This federal contract award to The Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) is a $213,461 grant for research on understanding surface weathering processes on the Moon. The award, with a performance period through August 2024, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through the NASA Shared Services Center.
WashU is a prominent private research university with extensive experience partnering with federal agencies like NASA on scientific research and development contracts and grants. This award supports a study to analyze the chemical composition of lunar regolith and how it is impacted by micrometeorite bombardment and solar wind. The research is intended to provide insights into the history and ongoing evolution of the lunar surface.
This grant does not have any small business or socioeconomic set-aside designations, as WashU is a large research institution. The university also holds an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the Department of Veterans Affairs for providing specialized research training and mentoring services.
