About this award
The Johns Hopkins University received a $513.4K grant award (22-XRP22_2-0083) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Shared Services Center for research titled "Estimating Pi with Pie: Constraining the Population Proportion of M-Dwarf Planetary Atmospheres with Planetary Infrared Excess." The award, made on February 1, 2023, supports astronomical research focused on characterizing planetary atmospheres around M-dwarf stars through infrared observations, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027. This grant represents Johns Hopkins' participation in NASA's broader planetary science and exoplanet research initiatives, leveraging the university's established expertise in space science investigations and astronomical observations.
The contract carries no set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition based on technical merit. Johns Hopkins University, a premier private research institution with extensive federal contracting experience, was selected as the prime contractor with no subcontractors identified in this award. The university's successful track record managing diverse NASA research grants—including previous space science awards ranging from $90K to $1.4M for lunar, Martian, and Earth science applications through the same NASA Shared Services Center—demonstrates its established capability to conduct sophisticated astronomical research and deliver rigorous scientific outcomes in support of the agency's planetary exploration and characterization objectives.
