- This is a $435,791.99 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant will fund the analysis of exquisite stellar and planetary data collected by the Kepler spacecraft's K2 extended mission for the Upper Scorpius star-forming region, which represents a key evolutionary stage between very young and older star clusters. The primary objectives are to determine stellar...
- This is a $75,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project aimed at probing the structure of planetary systems and its dependency on the host star mass. The goal is to continue the characterization of Kepler planet host stars, extending it to lower-mass systems, to explore different irradiation environments and address the radius-flux distribution of planets as a function of stellar...
- This is a $425,562.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project titled "Laying the Foundation for a Comprehensive View of Transiting Exoplanets with the Galactic Bulge Survey". The award does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, a private research university focused on science and engineering, will perform the research work under this grant, which aims to expand the...
- This is a $247,652 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support collaborative research and development activities related to the K2 mission, which is a follow-up program to the Kepler mission focused on measuring precise planet masses and characterizing planet host stars. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, a private research university, is the prime contractor and is leveraging...

The award is not set aside for any specific business type. Caltech is a private research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the...
- This is a $50,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research on the mass loss history of two M-dwarf exoplanets. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and has a performance period through September 2026. Caltech, a private non-profit research university, is the prime recipient of this award. The grant supports Caltech's expertise in astrophysics and space exploration research. Caltech...
- This is a $398,685.53 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to the "origin of stars that make up our universe." The grant, which has a performance period ending on May 18, 2023, aligns with one of the goals outlined in NASA's 2014 Science Plan. Caltech, a private research university focused on science and engineering, has received over $500 million in prime federal...
- This is a $5,194.02 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project titled "PINNING DOWN MASSES OF JWST ULTRA-SHORT-PERIOD PLANETS WITH KPF". The project aims to conduct research related to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the detection of exoplanets with ultra-short orbital periods. Caltech, a private research university, has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from...
- This is a $66,384 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on "Understanding Obscuration in Dipping Blackhole Binaries". The grant is a research contract with a period of performance from February 2024 to February 2026. Caltech is a private research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from NASA and the...
- This is a $98,424.24 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to analyze residuals from Cassini and Juno gravity measurements to find evidence of time-dependent gravity fields. The award is not associated with a set-aside program. Caltech is a private, non-profit research university that has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards over the past 5 years, primarily from NASA and the Department of...
This $100,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to search for transiting planets orbiting FGK dwarf stars in the K2 fields. The project has two objectives: 1) to measure variations in the occurrence rate of planets as a function of sky position, sampling different star formation environments and stellar densities, and 2) to discover small planets suitable for high-precision Doppler spectroscopy to refine knowledge of planet density, composition, and atmospheric extent. Caltech, a private research university, is a significant recipient of prime federal contract and grant awards, with over $500 million in prime federal contracts and $50 million in grants over the past 5 years, primarily from agencies like NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. This award does not utilize a set-aside designation.
