About this award
The Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona, was awarded a $121,308 grant by a civilian federal agency on October 7, 2024, to conduct research on high-resolution geologic mapping of intracrater impact melt deposits. Designated as grant 23-CSSFP23-0014, this citizen scientist approach research project will leverage public participation in scientific data collection and analysis to support numerical modeling efforts related to impact crater geology. The award is unencumbered by set-aside designations, reflecting competitive merit-based selection. Work is scheduled for completion by October 6, 2026, with all activities based at PSI's Tucson, Arizona location.
This award represents typical funding activity for PSI, which specializes in planetary science research and has established a strong track record of securing federal grants from civilian space agencies. The citizen scientist methodology employed in this project aligns with contemporary trends in federal research funding that seek to broaden scientific engagement and leverage distributed data collection capabilities. PSI's research outputs will contribute to the broader understanding of impact crater mechanics and planetary geology through detailed geologic mapping that will inform predictive models of impact melt deposit formation and distribution.
