This federal contract award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The $646,743.00 grant is for the "ROSES 2024 NNH23ZDA001N" research effort, which requires UAF to execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The effort involves UAF participating as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.

UAF, as Alaska's flagship public research university, is leveraging its extensive expertise in Arctic and sub-Arctic studies to advance discovery in emerging fields 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 award is part of UAF's broader portfolio of federal contract work and grants, which spans collaborations with various government agencies and research centers.
