- This is a $356,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame's Notre Dame Research Division, doing business as the Office of Research. The grant is for a multi-year research project to investigate the evolution of the lunar magma ocean and its implications for the early differentiation of the Moon. The research aims to address key scientific questions about the mineralogy of the lunar lower mantle, the effects of a whole-moon...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $399,826 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research relevant to NASA's Emerging Worlds program. The research will focus on studying melt inclusions and minerals in Apollo lunar samples to characterize the budget of volatiles acquired by the early primordial Moon and use this information to constrain the origin and evolution of the Moon. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation, and the...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,807.99 grant (NNX16AQ17G) to the University of Florida's Division of Sponsored Research to conduct research on lunar crust building processes. The three-part research effort aims to: 1) experimentally test whether the KREEP reservoir is essential for lunar Mg-suite magmatism, 2) determine trace element partition coefficients relevant to Mg-suite magmas, and 3) constrain relationships among Mg-suite samples from the Apollo 17...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $356,505.00 grant to Brown University to conduct research on constraining the Li and B budget and d7Li and d11B ratios of the Moon's interior using lunar volcanic glasses, melt inclusions, olivine and pyroxene phenocrysts. This is a 5-year research grant that runs from January 1, 2020 through August 31, 2025. The award was made without a set-aside designation and represents basic scientific research funded by NASA to further...
- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the physical conditions of melting of lunar magma ocean (LMO) cumulates. The objective is to use phase equilibrium experiments to determine the melting behavior of a series of LMO cumulate compositions over a range of pressures and temperatures. The research will provide inputs to a 3-component major element cumulate remelting...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC23K0269, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac's Notre Dame Research Division, doing business as the Office of Research. The $555,917.00 grant is for fundamental research on "The Origin of Earth: Lessons from Multi-Planet Systems" and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Notre Dame is a leading private Catholic...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $341,409.00 grant to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac to conduct research on improving the understanding of fundamental mechanisms by which hydroclimate patterns are altered. This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion on July 8, 2025. The University of Notre Dame DU Lac is a private Catholic research university that frequently partners with government agencies, research...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $519,835 grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the Moon's early magnetic field history. The research aims to determine if the Moon generated a convection-driven dynamo that only intermittently reached high field strengths, or if the dynamo was driven by a different process capable of producing stronger continuous fields. The key objectives are to measure the paleointensity of the lunar...
- This is a $85,786.09 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program and will fund a study using non-destructive electron and X-ray microbeam techniques to analyze lunar rock samples. The goal is to determine the valence and coordination of titanium, vanadium, and chromium in the lunar rocks, which will provide insights into the redox conditions of the lunar mantle and crust during...
- This is a $50,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame for research on magnetic cataclysmic variable stars. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2023, will allow the university to observe a large sample of these types of stars to study variations in their rates of mass transfer. The University of Notre Dame is a leading private Catholic research university that frequently partners with government...
