About this award
Howard University, a historically Black research university based in Washington, D.C., was awarded a $150,000 research grant (Contract 23-PLANET23-0259) by NASA to conduct direct Monte Carlo simulations of gravity waves in the rarefied regions of Mars and Titan atmospheres. This grant, issued on September 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, represents part of NASA's broader commitment to advancing planetary science research and understanding atmospheric dynamics on other celestial bodies. The award reflects Howard University's established capacity as a research-active institution with significant federal engagement across multiple scientific disciplines and its recognized capabilities in computational modeling and atmospheric physics research.
This non-set-aside grant is structured as a fixed-price research award under NASA's civilian research portfolio. The work will be performed at Howard University's campus in Washington, D.C., and aligns with the institution's extensive history of securing competitive federal funding from NASA and other agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Defense. The grant further strengthens Howard University's role as a strategic partner for advancing cutting-edge research while contributing to NASA's scientific objectives in planetary exploration and atmospheric characterization.
