Execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the national academies of sciences, engineering, and medicine, administration priorities, and direction from congress.…

This is a $69,078.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to execute a balanced science program. The grant is not set aside for any specific business category.

Under this grant, Columbia University will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The university will also advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines, and develop a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs, including Earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness.

This grant is part of Columbia University's extensive portfolio of federal contract and grant awards across a wide range of scientific and technical domains, including quantum computing, artificial intelligence, advanced materials, and defense technologies. The university frequently collaborates with government agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, and the Department of Energy to conduct research and development in support of national priorities.
