About this award
The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $27,414.40 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center to support investigations into planetary archaeology and the discovery of planets around evolved stars using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). This grant, issued on February 15, 2023, with a completion date of February 14, 2025, represents funding for fundamental astronomy research aimed at advancing understanding of exoplanetary systems around aging stellar objects. The work will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland location, with no small business set-aside designation applied to this full and open competition award.
As a premier research institution with extensive experience managing federal research contracts and grants, Johns Hopkins brings significant expertise in space science investigations to this project. The university maintains an active portfolio of NASA-funded research spanning planetary science, lunar exploration, and Earth science applications, with recent awards ranging from approximately $90,000 to $1.4 million through NASA's Shared Services Center. This exoplanet research grant contributes to NASA's broader mission of characterizing planetary systems and advancing knowledge of planetary formation and evolution around post-main-sequence stars, complementing the agency's ongoing efforts to catalog and understand the diversity of worlds beyond our solar system.
