About this award

The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research has been awarded a $577,434.00 federal grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on potential habitable zones on Mars. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research will focus on identifying areas on Mars where liquid water may be periodically stable, such as melting frosts or inclusions within subsurface ices, which could indicate the presence of habitable zones. As a major research institution and top-tier public land-grant university, UF has extensive capabilities in space-related research and development, making it a valuable partner for NASA in advancing scientific understanding of extraterrestrial environments. This grant award is part of UF's expansive portfolio of federally-funded research projects and initiatives, which span diverse disciplines and support the missions of various government agencies.
