- This federal contract award, valued at $151,170.72, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution's Office of Sponsored Projects as a research grant. The grant supports a project to study the spatial and temporal distribution, as well as the potential causes, of late fluvial erosion on the surface of Mars. The research aims to test the hypothesis that diachronous local-scale events, rather than global-scale climate variability, were...
- This $124,283.15 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States composed primarily of museums and research centers, to conduct research related to ancient Martian runoff and erosion. The project aims to map tributary valleys and watersheds in the Tyrrhena and Cimmeria highlands of Mars, evaluate factors influencing fluvial dissection, and refine hydrologic...
- This is a $199,966.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution, a federal trust instrumentality and non-profit organization, for research focused on the geology and geomorphology of landforms on Mars that were formed or modified by water. The research aims to decipher the timing and source of water that formed post-Noachian fluvial landforms on the planet. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian...
- This federal contract award, with identification number 80NSSC21K1092, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects, by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $250,837.00 grant is for a research project studying valley networks and alluvial deposits on Mars, with the goal of understanding the planet's late Hesperian or early Amazonian fluvial erosion. The Smithsonian Institution, a renowned...
- This federal contract award, valued at $163,791.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects. The contract is for a research project titled "A Paleo-Landscape that Preserves Evidence of Liquid Water and (or) Ice is the Most Unambiguous Marker of a Water-Rich Past Climate." The project aims to conduct a global survey of fresh shallow valleys and "pollywog"...
- NASA awarded a $10 million grant to the Smithsonian Institution, operating through its Office of Sponsored Projects, to support research and educational initiatives aligned with the agency's scientific mission. The award, effective from July 1, 2021, through September 30, 2026, carries no set-aside designation and reflects the longstanding partnership between NASA and the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, which has collaborated with the agency since the museum's 1976 opening. The...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC20K0551, is a $121,830.00 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Projects. The contract is not set aside for any specific business classification. The research will focus on the Southern Margaritifer Terra region on Mars, which has a long record of aqueous processes including a high density of...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research institute, to investigate the effects of a cold early climate on the evolution of the Martian hydrosphere. The grant, valued at $361,691.37, will fund the development of a climate model, Mars topography model, a model of the thermal evolution of the Martian crust, and an advanced model of regional and global subpermafrost groundwater flow....
- This is a $534,885.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution non-profit organization. The purpose of this grant is to conduct research on the development histories of large Martian dust storms, analyzing their growth patterns, trajectories, and characteristics in order to improve understanding of the Martian dust cycle and atmospheric dynamics. The...
- This is a $299,294.67 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a research project focused on mapping and modeling Martian alluvial fans to better understand past climate conditions and potential habitable environments on the planet. The work will involve analyzing high-resolution imagery, topographic data, and spectral information to differentiate sediment flow deposits and...
