About this award
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $150,000 research grant (contract 23-PLANET23-0015) to investigate the hydrothermal history of primitive asteroids through coordinated microanalysis of carbonates in meteorites and returned samples. The grant, awarded by a civilian federal agency on November 1, 2024, will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2027. This research initiative aligns with broader planetary science priorities and leverages the university's extensive capabilities in geological research and scientific analysis, particularly its expertise in analyzing extraterrestrial materials and advanced microanalytical techniques.
The award was made without a set-aside designation, indicating the University of Arizona's competitive standing in federal research procurement. As a land grant institution and Hispanic Serving Institution, the university brings substantial experience managing federal research grants across multiple scientific disciplines, including planetary science, materials research, and specialized laboratory analyses. This project represents a continuation of the institution's established track record in securing competitive research funding from federal agencies to advance scientific understanding of planetary formation and early solar system processes.
