About this award
The University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research received a $243,905.21 grant award from a civilian federal agency on August 2, 2021, for research addressing a critical challenge in human spaceflight: the infeasibility of regular resupply missions to crewed spacecraft operating beyond low-Earth orbit due to distance and launch economics constraints. This grant represents the type of fundamental research capability the university regularly provides to federal agencies across aerospace, defense, and civilian sectors. The award carries no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by February 26, 2025, with all work performed in Gainesville, Florida.
As a major public research institution and land-grant university, the University of Florida has established itself as a strategic partner for advancing national priorities through its Division of Sponsored Research. The institution's federal portfolio demonstrates substantial expertise across aerospace and engineering disciplines, including prior work supporting NASA and the U.S. Air Force on advanced flight systems and space-related consulting services. This research grant aligns with the university's demonstrated capabilities in solving complex technical challenges relevant to deep space exploration and aligns with broader federal efforts to enable sustained human presence beyond low-Earth orbit through innovative logistics and resource management solutions.
