- This is a $104,999.97 training grant contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Pittsburgh. The contract aims to conduct graduate research to address multiple questions of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, with a focus on understanding active volcanic processes and their impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. The research will leverage data from satellite sensors, including the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), to study...
- This $87,619.49 federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the volcanic and eolian history of the Daedalia Planum region on Mars. The research objectives are to: (1) extract thermophysical information from lava flow surfaces, (2) model the infrared spectral data of bedrock outcrops to determine composition, and (3) examine variations in flow surface characteristics to constrain the volcanic and...
- This $750,000.00 cooperative agreement was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh, a major research university in Pennsylvania. The goal of this project is to develop a multi-scale process-microstructure simulation tool that can predict defects and phase transformations in complex laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) parts, leveraging graphical processing unit (GPU) acceleration. The University of Pittsburgh will serve as the prime...
- This is a $530,392.00 grant award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Pittsburgh - Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education, a non-profit educational institution, for research on modeling the open channel lava flows of Venus to constrain emplacement conditions, cooling rates, and implications for future orbital data. The award has a completion date of March 26, 2027 and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Pittsburgh has been a major...
- The University of Pittsburgh was awarded a $336,032 cooperative agreement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "EO14042 ON-THE-FLY NONLINEAR REDUCED-ORDER MODELING OF FLOW TRANSITION." This work, which has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025, will involve the development of advanced computational models to study fluid flow and turbulence. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research...
- The University of Pittsburgh, a state-related research university, received a $396,089.17 grant from the U.S. government to conduct "FULL-FIELD INTERFEROMETRIC MEASUREMENTS OF THICKNESS OF FREELY SUSPENDED LIQUID FILMS" research. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.

- This $741,188 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh on April 19, 2021 for a research project on improved measurement and modeling of volcanic plumes. The project is divided into three tasks and has an ultimate completion date of April 18, 2025. As a grant for research, this award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Pittsburgh is the prime contractor and sole recipient of this funding, which will...
The University of Pittsburgh - Of The Commonwealth System of Higher Education, doing business as The University of Pittsburgh, was awarded a $134,999.65 training grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract is focused on accurately calculating the temperature and thermal emissivity of basaltic lava surfaces using a newly-developed ground-based miniature multispectral thermal infrared system. This data will be used to improve models of lava flow dynamics and volcanic hazard prediction. No set-aside designation was identified for this contract. The University of Pittsburgh has a long history of supporting NASA and other federal agencies through research, engineering, and technical services contracts and grants.
