About this award
The U.S. government awarded a $150,000 research grant to William Marsh Rice University (doing business as Rice University) on September 1, 2023, to investigate the fate of nitrogen during early silicate differentiation of rocky bodies, with constraints informed by mineral-melt partitioning studies. This grant, which is not set aside for any specific business category, will be performed at Rice University's Houston, Texas campus through August 31, 2026. The research falls under the purview of the federal government's civilian Shared Services Center and represents fundamental scientific inquiry into planetary formation and geochemistry relevant to understanding the composition and evolution of terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocky bodies.
Rice University's Office of Sponsored Projects will manage the execution of this research initiative, leveraging the institution's established expertise in advanced scientific research across multiple disciplines including materials science and space science. The university has demonstrated significant capacity in managing federal research funding, with a robust portfolio of grants from agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy. This award enables Rice University to contribute to scientific knowledge regarding early planetary differentiation processes, which has implications for understanding the chemical evolution of Earth and other rocky bodies in the solar system.
