- 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...
- 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 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a leading academic research institution, for the Emerging Worlds Program. The $512,777 grant is focused on answering fundamental science questions about how the solar system formed and evolved, including studies of materials and processes in the protoplanetary disk. The award does not have a set-aside designation and has a completion date of March 31, 2025....
- This is a $871,941.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago for a research project focused on the mineralogy, chemical and isotopic compositions of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in the early solar system. The award, which has no set-aside designation, aims to improve understanding of the formation and evolution of early solar system materials through laboratory experiments. The University of Chicago is a renowned private research institution that...
- 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...
- This federal contract award, valued at $749,931.32, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to conduct research on kinetic isotopic fractionation of solar system materials. The research aims to provide laboratory calibration experiments under controlled conditions to quantify isotopic and chemical fractionation effects observed in early solar system materials, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and olivine crystals from...
- 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...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Chicago to conduct research on "Refractory Minerals: Tracking the Early Solar Activity". The grant is for a period of approximately 3 years, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. The University of Chicago is a large, established research institution with a history of federal contract and grant work across various scientific domains. This grant does not have a set-aside...
- 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 $702,316.92 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Houston System to conduct research on the origins and early evolution of the solar system. The research aims to gain a better understanding of the mixing processes in the solar nebula, the nature of solar and presolar components, and the origin and early differentiation of terrestrial bodies. The grant will fund high-precision isotopic measurements of bulk chondrites using neodymium, samarium, and osmium to investigate these...
