About this award
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a San Antonio-based nonprofit research and development organization, received a civilian research grant from a federal Shared Services Center valued at $337,342.79, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2024. The grant supports research on planet and planetesimal formation in the inner solar system, specifically addressing Task 1: Mass Distribution in the Inner Solar System. The project focuses on reconciling significant theoretical challenges in terrestrial planet formation models, including the order-of-magnitude mass difference between Earth and Mars, the low mass of the asteroid belt, and the orbital excitation of asteroids. The research aims to evaluate proposed solutions that disagree on the initial radial distribution of mass in the early inner solar system.
This research grant represents a continuation of SwRI's extensive involvement in scientific research and technological development, particularly within planetary science initiatives. The work falls within SwRI's established expertise in space science and planetary exploration, areas where the organization has secured numerous grants from federal agencies including NASA. The award is not subject to any small business set-aside designation, indicating competition in a full and open environment. Given SwRI's track record in federally funded planetary science research and its substantial capabilities across multidisciplinary scientific domains, this grant positions the institute to contribute meaningful insights to fundamental questions regarding solar system formation and evolution.
