About this award

This federal contract award is a $589,874 research grant from a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to the University of Oklahoma. The grant, titled "EO14042 SALTS AND CLAYS- INVESTIGATING CLAY FORMATION AND ALTERATION IN HIGH SALINITY BRINES," aims to further investigate the mineralogy and abundance of clay mineral phases produced when primary silicate minerals react with high salinity brines, as well as the effects of evaporating/freezing surface waters and high-density diagenetic fluids on clay mineralogy and chemistry. The research is motivated by the observation of clay minerals on Mars, despite climate models predicting cold conditions that would preclude the long-term stability of fresh water on the Martian surface. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. The University of Oklahoma, a state-controlled public research institution, will be the prime contractor for this project, which is set to run through December 31, 2026.
