This is a $70,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization. The grant is for the SETI Institute to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as administration priorities and direction from Congress. The work will focus on scientific research related to the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, with the goal of advancing discovery in emerging fields and developing a user-focused approach to applied programs like Earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness. This grant does not utilize any set-aside designations. The SETI Institute has previously held an Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA Headquarters valued at $4.7 million, and has collaborated with prime contractors like Lockheed Martin Corporation and subcontractors like Agile Decision Sciences, LLC. The Institute has also received numerous grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation to conduct scientific research across domains such as exoplanet characterization, planetary science, astrobiology, and astronomical observations.

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. Participate 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. Advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines develop a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs, including earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness
