- This is a $208,215.74 grant awarded by NASA to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for research related to detecting signs of life on exoplanets. The project aims to develop a tool for analyzing exoplanet atmospheric compositions to identify potential biosignatures and indications of chemical disequilibrium. The research aligns with NASA's goals of understanding Earth and searching for life elsewhere, as outlined in its strategic plan and the Exobiology program. NAU, a public research university...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University, a public research university located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $210,434.83 grant is for research to address observing strategies that can effectively assess the habitability of directly-imaged exoplanets and rule out false positives for habitability. The work will be performed in Flagstaff, Arizona. No set-aside designation is mentioned. As a Hispanic...
- This federal contract award (80NSSC18K0349) was made by NASA to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to conduct research on exoplanets and their atmospheres. The $472,252 grant supports the development of climate models and spectral databases to help distinguish between "super-Earth" terrestrial planets and "mini-Neptune" gas-rich planets, which are common in exoplanet systems. This work aims to improve NASA's ability to characterize exoplanet atmospheres through future...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University, a public research university located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $114,442.65 grant is for research to substantially expand the known Inner Oort Cloud population through a targeted survey to discover more extremely distant objects. This research aims to test theories on the formation and evolution of our solar system, as the dynamical and...
- This is a $66,967.68 grant awarded to Northern Arizona University (NAU) by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to support research on constraining life on Earth-like exoplanets. The award does not have a set-aside designation. NAU is a public research university that serves as a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Native American-serving nontribal institution. The university has an extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants, providing scientific research, technical...
- This is a $889,987.00 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to investigate vegetation dynamics in the Arctic and boreal regions using satellite data, airborne sensors, and field measurements. The research aims to document changes in vegetation productivity and assess the progression of an Arctic-boreal biome shift, where tree productivity decreases and woody vegetation expands northward. NAU, a public research university and...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K1364, was granted to Northern Arizona University (NAU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $372,581.00 award is a grant for research with the overarching goal of advancing the understanding of plant aboveground biomass across the rapidly warming Arctic tundra biome. The research will leverage field, satellite, and modeling data. This award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting NAU's capabilities as a...
- This federal contract award to Northern Arizona University (NAU) is for a research project focused on conducting a ground-based telescopic survey to search for a hypothesized distant massive planet in our solar system. The $536,220.47 grant is being funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under its Planetary Astronomy (PAST) program. The research aims to either discover this hypothesized planet or rule out its existence through a multi-pronged approach involving...
- This federal contract award, valued at $331,702.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to perform a visible and near-infrared spectroscopic survey of candidate red asteroids in the middle and outer main asteroid belt. The goal is to identify potential Trojan-like outer solar system material that could provide insights into the early solar system's giant planet migration. This is a grant for research, with no set-aside...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for planetary science research. The grant, which has no set-aside designation, supports the analysis of spectral data from asteroids and the modeling of thermal properties of celestial bodies. As a public research university, NAU has a strong track record of conducting scientific research and providing technical assistance to federal agencies across various...
This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University, a public research university located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $225,426.00 grant is funding research to determine if the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of vegetation on an exoplanet could be used to detect the presence of tree-like, multi-cellular life. The research builds on previous work that found measurable differences in planetary albedo between vegetated and non-vegetated planets. The goal is to validate this theoretical technique through empirical testing using data from the Galileo spacecraft. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
