About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa has been awarded a $701,901 research grant by a civilian federal agency to support the project "Exploring Planet Formation on Solar System Scales with Extreme Adaptive Optics." The award, announced on October 19, 2023, with completion targeted for October 18, 2026, represents a continuation of the university's extensive involvement in astronomical research and planetary science. The work will be performed in Honolulu, Hawaii, leveraging the university's established expertise in observational astronomy and advanced instrumentation. This grant award reflects the university's significant role as a federal research partner, particularly given its operational responsibility for NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility and its track record of delivering cutting-edge scientific research across multiple federal agencies.
The research project focuses on utilizing extreme adaptive optics technology to investigate planet formation processes at scales comparable to our solar system. This scientific initiative builds on the University of Hawaii's recognized capabilities in planetary science and astronomical observation, areas that have historically attracted substantial federal investment through both NASA and the National Science Foundation. The project supports fundamental scientific discovery in exoplanet research and planetary system dynamics, contributing to the broader federal commitment to understanding planetary formation mechanisms and expanding knowledge of our place in the universe.
