About this award
The University of Chicago was awarded a $14,993 research grant by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) on January 1, 2024, to support research on photoevaporation from small planets orbiting young, active stars. The research will be conducted at the university's Chicago, Illinois campus with a completion date of December 31, 2024. This grant represents an open competition award with no set-aside designation and falls under the university's broader portfolio of federally funded scientific research initiatives.
This award supports fundamental astrophysical research examining the mechanisms by which stellar radiation causes atmospheric loss from exoplanets around young stars—a process critical to understanding planetary formation and evolution. The University of Chicago, as a leading research institution with extensive federal funding across the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, NASA, and Department of Defense, brings significant expertise in space science and computational modeling to this investigation. The modest award value reflects the typical scale of preliminary or focused research grants that support investigative work in theoretical and observational astrophysics.
