About this award
The Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $189,278 research grant by the federal government on September 3, 2024, for a project titled "Do Polygonal Impact Craters Form on Mercury's Lobate Scarps? Implications for Contractional Tectonism Throughout the Solar System." The grant, which carries a completion deadline of September 2, 2026, is classified as a non-set-aside research grant funded through a civilian federal agency. The project will be performed at Johns Hopkins' Baltimore, Maryland campus. This research grant supports scientific investigation into planetary geology and tectonics, specifically examining impact crater formation patterns on Mercury and their broader implications for understanding contractional processes across planetary bodies in the solar system.
As a leading research institution with extensive federal funding experience, Johns Hopkins frequently receives grants from civilian research agencies to support fundamental scientific inquiry across multiple disciplines. The university's strong track record in space exploration research, particularly through its Applied Physics Laboratory, positions it well to conduct sophisticated planetary science investigations. The non-competitive award structure and modest award value are consistent with typical academic research grants supporting specific scientific questions that advance knowledge in space science and planetary geology.
