About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $653,978 grant award (24-SSW24-0001) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on the spectroscopic and chemical evolution of surfaces of airless trans-Neptunian objects through ionizing radiation exposure. The research will be performed in Honolulu, Hawaii, with an ultimate completion date of August 17, 2027. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive research grant supporting planetary science investigation into distant solar system bodies beyond Neptune's orbit.
This award aligns with the University of Hawaii's established role as a premier federal research partner, particularly in planetary science disciplines. The institution brings significant expertise in astronomical research and space exploration support, as evidenced by its management of NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility under an $85.5M indefinite delivery contract and prior planetary science grants from NASA. The spectroscopic and chemical evolution research funded under this award will contribute to broader understanding of trans-Neptunian object composition and the effects of cosmic radiation on distant icy bodies, supporting NASA's planetary science objectives and advancing knowledge of the outer solar system.
