The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $410,359 research grant by the Shared Services Center (the administrative arm for NASA) with an ultimate completion date of January 20, 2028. This grant supports the execution of a balanced science program guided by discipline-specific recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administrative priorities, and Congressional direction. The award employs a grant-based contract structure with other pricing methodology and carries no set-aside designation, indicating Caltech's successful competition in open federal procurement. The work will be performed at Caltech's primary facility in Pasadena, California.
This award reflects Caltech's established position as a premier research partner to the federal government across multiple scientific domains. The institution maintains a comprehensive portfolio of federal research contracts and grants spanning space exploration, astrophysics, quantum technologies, planetary science, and advanced computing. Notable recent agreements include a $36.4 million cooperative agreement for the Infrared Science Archive and a $20.6 million award for managing astrophysics mission data. Caltech's competitive success across civilian federal agencies—particularly NASA's Science Mission Directorate, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy—demonstrates its sustained capability in delivering cutting-edge scientific research that advances national priorities in space exploration and scientific discovery.
