About this award
The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $192,094 research grant by a Civilian federal agency to conduct systematic characterization of jet and curtain eruptions on Enceladus. The grant, awarded on February 17, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of February 16, 2025, represents unrestricted competitive selection based on scientific merit, with no socioeconomic set-aside designation applied. The work will be performed at the awardee's Mountain View facility and falls under the contract type of Grant for Research, indicating support for fundamental scientific investigation rather than services or products development.
This grant aligns with the SETI Institute's established expertise in planetary science and space exploration research, areas in which the organization has consistently received substantial federal funding from NASA and the National Science Foundation. The project focuses on analyzing geyser-like eruptions observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus, contributing to broader scientific understanding of the moon's subsurface ocean and its potential habitability—a key research area within planetary science exploration programs. The institute's selection reflects its demonstrated capability in conducting advanced scientific research, data analysis, and computational modeling on topics related to solar system exploration and astrobiology.
