- This $466,261.99 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to study the potential habitability of aqueous salt solutions on icy worlds like Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. The research aims to measure the thermodynamic properties of salt solutions at low temperatures and develop new models for understanding how water activity, brine composition, and crystalline salt assemblages relate to habitability and past...
- The University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $1.07 million research grant from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2024. This grant supports astrobiological research investigating microbial life in frozen environments across three distinct contexts: modern Earth sea ice, theoretical Snowball Earth conditions, and Mars. The research centers on psychrophilic bacteria, specifically Colwellia psychrerythraea strain 34H, which...
- This is a $622,887.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) on December 11, 2020 for the project "ADSORBED WATER AND BRINES ON MARS". The grant has a period of performance through November 30, 2025 and is not set aside for small businesses. The University of Washington is a leading public research university that frequently secures prime federal contract and grant awards to provide...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to study the formation and evolution of lobate debris aprons (LDAs), which are the largest non-polar reservoirs of water ice on Mars. The $383,547 grant will fund research to understand how debris cover affects the dynamics and surface mass exchange of LDAs, in order to better interpret Martian paleoclimate. The research will involve incorporating the...
- This is a $134,664 training grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on September 1, 2020. The grant will fund research to model the processes that enabled the stability of surface liquid water on Mars later into its history, potentially extending the planet's habitability. The research aims to constrain the volume of water and number of outflow events required to produce observed surface features called "pollywogs," which...
- This is a $166,964.43 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant is for an "Experimental Investigation of Excess Shallow Ground Ice on Mars" and aims to test theories on the origin of excess ground ice on Mars, specifically the potential role of liquid water. The research will involve laboratory simulations to understand water transport and ice segregation processes, in order to better constrain...
- This is a $560,727 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) for a research project titled "ROSES Funding Opportunity." The goal of the project is to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The project will focus on scientific research related to the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and...
- This is a $170,034 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) on June 5, 2025. The grant will fund a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. UW will participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The grant aims to advance...
- 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 $344,226 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Desert Research Institute, a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is for research to understand the history of water on Mars, which is critical to the search for evidence of life on the planet. The research will utilize physics-based wave modeling and geomorphic analysis to constrain the durations over which lakes existed on Mars by comparing to...
