About this award
Northern Arizona University (NAU), a public research institution in Flagstaff, Arizona, received a $578,773 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate compositional, thermophysical, and original variabilities of ancient volcanic materials on Mars. This award, made on September 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, supports planetary science research aligned with NASA's Science Mission Directorate priorities. The grant is undesignated and represents a competitive award to NAU, which has established itself as a major research institution with over $3 million in cumulative NASA grants for various planetary science investigations.
NAU brings substantial expertise to this Mars research effort, having previously conducted specialized analyses of volcanic materials and planetary science investigations. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Native American-serving nontribal institution, NAU leverages its position as a significant federal contractor and grant recipient across multiple agencies, including the U.S. Geological Survey, National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education. The university's demonstrated capability in complex scientific research, combined with its advanced laboratory facilities in Flagstaff, positions it well to execute this planetary science investigation into the compositional and thermophysical properties of ancient Martian volcanic materials.
