This is a $40,000.00 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University). The award requires Stanford to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. Stanford will participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research related to the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The award also calls for Stanford to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities. Additionally, Stanford will develop a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs including Earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness. This award is not a set-aside contract. Stanford is an established private research university that frequently receives prime and sub-awards for federal contracts and grants across a wide range of scientific and technical disciplines.
