About this award
Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (ORSPA), received a $149,421 grant award on August 1, 2023, to conduct research titled "A Salty Solution: Understanding Hydrothermal Organic Chemistry on Ocean Worlds." The research project, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2026, will be performed at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus. This grant award represents a child contract under ASU's parent entity and was issued by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting a competitive procurement process.
The research initiative focuses on investigating organic chemistry processes occurring in hydrothermal environments on extraterrestrial ocean worlds, with implications for astrobiology and the search for potential microbial life. This work aligns with ASU's extensive portfolio of federally-funded scientific research across space science, materials research, and advanced computational methods. As a leading research university and Hispanic-serving institution, ASU has demonstrated substantial capabilities in executing complex research and development projects for various federal agencies, including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, making it well-positioned to advance scientific understanding of prebiotic chemistry in extraplanetary environments.
