About this award
Brown University received a $100,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with a completion deadline of September 16, 2026. The award supports fundamental research examining the microstructures, visible and near-infrared spectra, and attenuation properties of laboratory-derived water ice and ice/salt-hydrate eutectic aggregates. This research has direct applications to understanding the composition and physical characteristics of icy moons, particularly Europa, which is a key target for ongoing NASA planetary science missions. The contract is classified as a grant for research with no set-aside designation, reflecting Brown University's competitive selection based on technical merit and institutional research capabilities.
The work will be performed at Brown University's Providence, Rhode Island campus, where the institution maintains extensive research infrastructure and faculty expertise in materials science and planetary science. As a prominent Ivy League research institution and established federal contractor, Brown University regularly receives funding from multiple federal agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy. This award represents the university's continued engagement in fundamental space science research that advances understanding of potential extraterrestrial environments and supports the scientific objectives of NASA's planetary exploration programs.
