About this award
This is a $655,330.01 grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to the University of Chicago for research related to rubidium and potassium isotopic studies of volatile element depletion in the early solar system. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, supports a project focused on understanding the composition of planets and asteroids, particularly their depletion of moderately volatile elements like sodium, potassium, and rubidium compared to undifferentiated meteorites. The University of Chicago, a prestigious private research institution, has extensive experience conducting advanced scientific research and delivering specialized services to federal agencies across various domains, including medical research, quantum computing, and space exploration. This grant award is part of the university's broader portfolio of federal contract and grant work, which includes a $146.3 million indefinite delivery contract with NIAID for the development and evaluation of animal and animal replacement models for screening potential medical countermeasures.
Description
A distinguishing feature in the composition of planets and asteroids is their severe depletion in moderately volatile elements such as alkali elements NA, k, and RB relative to undifferentiated meteorites (by up to a factor of 500).
