About this award
The Research Foundation for The State University of New York, operating as Stony Brook University, was awarded a $97,266 research grant by a civilian federal agency on December 1, 2024, to investigate the age, origin, and abundance of chloride salt deposits on Mars. This grant-type contract, which carries no set-aside designation, will be performed in Stony Brook, New York, with a completion deadline of November 30, 2026. The research aligns with the scientific community's broader efforts to understand Martian geology and surface composition, which has implications for understanding Mars' geologic history, climate evolution, and potential for past microbial life.
Stony Brook University, a major public research institution on Long Island, is well-positioned to conduct this planetary science research given its extensive track record of federal funding from agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy across multiple scientific domains. The university's research foundation regularly leads complex, interdisciplinary investigations often in collaboration with national laboratories and peer institutions, demonstrating the institutional capacity required for sophisticated space exploration and geological analysis projects of this nature.
