About this award
Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $559,322 research grant by a civilian federal agency to investigate the role of volatile species—including water, carbon dioxide, fluorine, and chlorine—in determining the Martian interior's chemical and physical properties and its early potential to support a hydrosphere and life. The award, issued on October 15, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of October 14, 2026, supports fundamental scientific research aligned with planetary science objectives. The grant carries no set-aside designation, reflecting Cornell's broad competitive research capabilities across multiple federal agencies and scientific domains.
This research initiative falls within Cornell's extensive portfolio of federally-funded planetary and space science investigations conducted through its Office of Sponsored Programs. As a leading research institution, Cornell executes advanced research projects across numerous domains including aerospace and climate science, frequently in partnership with agencies such as NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy. The work will be performed at Cornell's Ithaca, New York campus, contributing to the university's ongoing contributions to national scientific capabilities in space exploration and planetary science research.
