The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $40,000 research grant to the University of Wisconsin System, specifically through its University of Wisconsin-Madison division operating as Tandem Press, effective July 1, 2025, with a completion date of February 1, 2026. This civilian award supports research aligned with NASA's 2022 Strategic Plan goals of scientific discovery and exploration, including investigating the universe's secrets, searching for extraterrestrial life, and enhancing life on Earth and in space. The grant was awarded without a set-aside designation, indicating open competition. Performance will take place in Madison, Wisconsin.

The award reflects NASA's commitment to fostering cross-disciplinary science and expanding the societal benefits of its research programs through partnerships with leading public research institutions. As a comprehensive public university system with extensive federal contracting experience across multiple agencies, the University of Wisconsin System brings significant capabilities in scientific research, technical services, and innovation. This grant contributes to NASA's broader mission of supporting national priorities in science and exploration while leveraging the university's research infrastructure and expertise in advancing scientific knowledge and technological development.

This nofo s goal is contribute to science, technology, and exploration research goals, such as those described by the NASA 2022 strategic plan. Twsc aligns to the 2022 plan s goal statement: NASA s enduring purpose is scientific discovery and exploration for the benefit of the united states and all of humanity. NASA seeks to discover the secrets of the universe, search for life elsewhere, and protect and improve life on earth and in space. Finding answers to these profound science questions requires support for national priorities in science and exploration, enhancing new opportunities for cross disciplinary science, and expanding the societal benefits of our science programs.
