About this award
The University of Colorado received a $1.66M grant award from a federal civilian agency on September 1, 2021, to support a two-year research program for the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE), a NASA-funded 6U CubeSat mission designed to study atmospheric composition and escape on extreme exoplanets. The work is being performed in Boulder, Colorado, with an ultimate completion date of January 20, 2025. This award represents the university's continued participation in NASA's scientific research initiatives through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, with no set-aside designation applied to the award.
As a major research institution, the University of Colorado leverages extensive federal partnerships across multiple agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the National Institutes of Health. The CUTE mission award aligns with the university's demonstrated capabilities in space science research and its established role supporting NASA's Science Mission Directorate priorities. The institution maintains significant contract vehicles with federal agencies, including a $15M Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA's Johnson Space Center for space life science research platform support, positioning it as a competitive and mission-critical partner for advancing the nation's space exploration and scientific discovery objectives.
