About this award
The Board of Regents of Nevada System of Higher Education, operating as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), was awarded a $92,615.40 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The contract, which commenced on January 4, 2021, and concluded on January 3, 2025, supported scientific research investigating the composition and formation processes of igneous rocks on Mars. This research directly contributes to understanding the protoliths of sedimentary and hydrothermally altered rocks observed at the Martian surface, which is essential for constraining the geological conditions that may have supported past life on Mars. The work was performed in Las Vegas, Nevada, with no set-aside designation applied to the award.
UNLV's selection for this research grant reflects the institution's established capabilities in conducting advanced scientific research and its track record of partnership with federal agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. The university, classified as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and part of the Nevada System of Higher Education, has demonstrated expertise in supporting cutting-edge research across multiple scientific disciplines. This Mars-focused research initiative aligns with the broader federal commitment to space exploration and astrobiology research priorities.
