- 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...
- 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 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 $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...
- 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 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit academic and research institution, for a project titled "The Oxidation State and Mineralogy of Extraterrestrial Materials". The $643,000 grant will support the use of synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and high-speed X-ray microdiffraction (micro-XRD) techniques to analyze the chemical state and mineralogy of...
- 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 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 federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K0374, is a $1,302,500.00 grant for research awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract has no set-aside designation and is set to be completed by March 31, 2026. The grant supports scientific research, with a revised budget that reduces the number of postdoctoral researchers from one to one-half, while the other half would come from the university's own...
- This is a $437,906.24 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center (SSC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant is for the development of a laser-based, low-blank, stepwise heating gas extraction system to analyze noble gas isotopes in planetary samples returned from space missions like OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa-2. The goal is to improve the ability to detect indigenous noble gas components in the samples and quantify the...
