About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $660,970 research grant to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on October 1, 2024, for a study investigating whether fresh dust deposition increases recurring slope lineae activity on Mars. The grant, which extends through September 30, 2027, represents fundamental scientific research aligned with NASA's planetary science objectives. SwRI, a prominent San Antonio-based nonprofit research organization with over 2,700 staff members, brings extensive expertise in space science and planetary exploration to this investigation, having previously secured numerous NASA grants focused on Mars geology and related planetary science topics.
The award carries no set-aside designation, indicating unrestricted competition. SwRI will conduct this research at its San Antonio, Texas facility as the prime contractor with no subcontractors identified in this award. This grant exemplifies SwRI's role in supporting NASA's efforts to understand Martian surface processes and geological phenomena that may have implications for future Mars exploration and the search for past or present habitability markers on the Red Planet.
