About this award
Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), was awarded a $365,954 grant by a civilian federal agency on March 7, 2023, for research titled "Nanoscale Analysis of Processing Signatures in Returned Asteroid, Comet and Interstellar Samples." The work will be performed in Tempe, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of December 29, 2026. This grant represents a child award under ASU's parent entity and was issued without a set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive capabilities in advanced scientific research. The contract funds fundamental research activities examining nanoscale characteristics and processing signatures of extraterrestrial materials returned from space missions, supporting the federal government's broader space science objectives.
ASU's extensive track record in federal research funding positions it well to execute this specialized analytical research. As a leading research university and Hispanic-serving institution, ASU has demonstrated significant capabilities across multiple scientific domains including space science, materials research, and advanced analytical techniques through prior federal grants from agencies including the National Science Foundation and NASA. The research conducted under this award will contribute to the scientific understanding of samples from asteroid, comet, and interstellar origins, supporting NASA's sample return missions and broader space exploration initiatives that depend on sophisticated nanoscale analysis capabilities.
