- The University of Chicago was awarded a $256,831 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct scientific research on modeling the drying out of Mars. The specific focus of this research involves improving fundamental knowledge of how partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) affects the elevation and latitude distribution of surface liquid water potential, with the intent to apply these findings to understanding Martian atmospheric and hydrological processes. The grant is classified as...
- This is a $229,069 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago on September 1, 2016 for the project "Quantifying the Effect of Mars Obliquity on the Intermittency of Post-Noachian Surface Liquid Water". The grant supports research to investigate how variations in Mars' obliquity, or tilt, impacted the presence of intermittent surface liquid water on the planet after the Noachian period. The research will involve modeling...
- 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 federal grant award to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $557,150 grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as NASA's priorities and direction from Congress. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
- This is a $454,628 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to conduct research on "Probing Feeding and Feedback in the Circumgalactic Medium Using OVI as a Tracer". The award has an ultimate completion date of January 10, 2026 and is not set-aside. The University of Chicago is a renowned private research university that has a significant portfolio of federal contracts and grants, delivering cutting-edge research and...
- This $318,348 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for a research project titled "E014042-MARS SEDIMENTATION IN SPACE AND TIME". The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is focused on conducting research related to sediment formation and deposition on Mars. As a renowned private research university, the University of Chicago has a long history of receiving substantial federal funding through...
- This is a $279,633.25 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for continuing Phase 2 development and testing of synchrotron micro-X-ray absorption fine structure (micro-XAFS) and micro-X-ray diffraction (micro-XRD) techniques. These techniques are aimed at studying picogram extraterrestrial samples, typical of current and future sample return missions. The award has a completion date of July 25, 2023 and does not have a set-aside...
- This $495,428 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago supports research to characterize the atmospheres of potentially habitable exoplanets. This work aligns with major upcoming NASA missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as well as planned missions like LUVOIR, OST, and HabEx that aim to identify promising exoplanet targets. The grant is not set aside and funds the University of Chicago's cutting-edge research in...
- 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 federal contract award, Grant ID NNX16AJ38G, was granted to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Mars Data Analysis Program. The $250,459.54 grant is funding research to quantify the role of fluvial erosion versus other processes in modifying Noachian craters on Mars. The research aims to better constrain the rates and processes of Noachian landscape evolution, which can inform climate models for early Mars. This grant does not have...
