About this award

The University of New Mexico (UNM) was awarded a $376,051 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the near-identical oxygen isotope composition between Earth and the Moon, which challenges the widely-accepted Giant Impact Hypothesis for the Moon's formation. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation.

UNM is a major public research institution and Hispanic-Serving Institution that conducts a wide range of scientific research and provides specialized technical services to federal agencies through numerous contract and grant awards. Beyond this specific grant, UNM holds several Indefinite Delivery Vehicles (IDVs) with agencies like the Bureau of Indian Education, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Bureau of Indian Affairs to provide adjunct instructor services, radiology interpretation, and forensic pathology support.
