About this award
The Regents of The University of Colorado at Boulder received a $194,060.16 research grant awarded September 1, 2024, with completion targeted for January 20, 2026, to conduct fluid dynamics simulations investigating the interiors of Jupiter and gas giants. The research, identified as 23-SSW23-0034, focuses on characterizing the mixing efficiency of convection processes and understanding the nature of dilute cores within these planetary bodies. The award carries no set-aside designation and is funded through a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. Work will be performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus through the Office of Contracts and Grants Division.
This grant supports fundamental planetary science research aligned with NASA's broader scientific objectives in planetary exploration and heliophysics. The University of Colorado has an extensive track record managing federal research funding, with significant prior awards from NASA's Science Mission Directorate spanning astrophysics, planetary science, and related disciplines. The modest award value is typical for targeted research investigations within the university's expansive portfolio, which includes collaborative partnerships on major initiatives and substantial indefinite delivery contracts with NASA valued in the millions of dollars for space life sciences research platforms and mission integration support.
