- This is a $1,400,000.00 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit educational institution and leading research university. The contract is for research to study nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies and chronology in cometary, interstellar, and asteroidal dust, as well as elemental abundances in solar wind. Measurements will be conducted using the Chicago Instrument for Laser Ionization (CHILI), a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $512,777 grant to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit research university, to perform research related to modeling the path and growth of dust grains in protoplanetary disks, tracking the chemical changes that occur as they form pebbles that can lead to the formation of planets. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation and will be completed by March 31, 2025. As a leading research institution, the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $104,306 grant to the University of Chicago to conduct research related to presolar grains found in primitive meteorites, interplanetary dust particles, cometary samples, and samples from asteroids Ryugu and Bennu. Presolar grains are believed to have condensed in the winds of evolved stars and stellar explosions. This grant-funded research project has a completion date of March 31, 2025. The University of Chicago is a leading...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for research on the "Dynamics and Growth of Solids Around Embedded Planets in 3D". The $150,000 grant has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026. The University of Chicago, a renowned private research institution, will conduct this cutting-edge scientific research under the grant. This award is not associated with any set-aside designation. The University of...
- This is a $565,000 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a study on the isotopic composition of refractory lithophile elements in the earliest solar system materials, including refractory inclusions and chondrites. The goal is to better understand the nebular processes that controlled the chemical fractionation and mixing of elements during the formation of the solar system and the subsequent...
- This is a $279,633.25 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for continuing Phase 2 development and testing of synchrotron micro-X-ray absorption fine structure (micro-XAFS) and micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD) techniques. These techniques are aimed at studying picogram extraterrestrial samples, typical of current and future sample return missions. The award has a completion date of July 25, 2023 and does not have a set-aside...
- This $115,056.98 federal grant award to the University of Chicago supports research on the petrologic, isotopic, and chemical aspects of the origin of the solar system. The work includes petrographic and geochemical analysis of pristine and metamorphosed chondrite meteorites, as well as experimental studies on redox conditions during chondrule formation. The grant also funds isotopic studies of chondrules, calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions, and refractory inclusion rims to understand the timing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $111,823.80 grant to the University of Chicago, a private, non-profit educational institution, for a research project titled "Time Dependent Photoionisation Modeling of AGN Outflows and Their Dust Content." The award has an anticipated completion date of April 2, 2026. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Chicago is the prime contractor for this research, which aligns with NASA's broader...
- This is a federal grant award to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $557,150 grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as NASA's priorities and direction from Congress. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
- This is a $1,240,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a leading research university, to conduct scientific research on the early solar system and its precursors. The research aims to better understand the nature and timing of mixing and nebular processing in the early solar system, the sources of dust in the solar nebula, stellar nucleosynthesis, and the chronology of the first few million years of...
This is a $909,647.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit university. The grant supports research goals to study the chronology of cometary and asteroidal dust, nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies in cometary and interstellar dust, and elemental abundances and acceleration mechanisms of the solar wind. Key measurements will be conducted using the CHILI resonance ionization mass spectrometer on samples returned by NASA's Stardust, Genesis, and Hayabusa missions. The research aims to enhance knowledge of the mineralogy, chemistry, and isotopic composition of cometary and interstellar dust particles. There is no set-aside designation for this grant, which has a performance period from July 2017 through July 2021.
