- This federal contract award to Portland State University (PSU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for a research grant focused on understanding the fundamental aspects of demisting, or the removal of liquid droplets from gas streams, in a microgravity environment. The $297,409.40 grant aims to investigate phenomena such as droplet impact and capture, filter saturation, and overall system performance, with testing to be conducted at the Dryden Drop Tower at PSU....
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to support research on capillary flows in reduced gravity environments. The $92,898.33 grant will fund the completion of the Capillary Flow Experiments 2 (CFE-2) vane gap experiments conducted on the International Space Station, including data/video archiving, data reduction, reporting, and publication preparation. This research aims to provide a quantitative and fundamental...
- This is a $242,742.04 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University, a U.S. state government and public educational institution, for research related to the potential role of atmospheric aerosols in the origin of life. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The award builds on the work of Carl Woese, who in 1979 proposed a greater role for atmospheric aerosols in the transition from prebiotic to...
- This is a $207,458.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU), a public research university in Oregon. The grant supports continued research on ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, numerical modeling, and data assimilation. Key objectives include producing highly accurate global tidal atlases, investigating the stationarity of low-mode internal tides, and improving...

The contract has an ultimate completion date of July 18, 2026 and was awarded on July 19, 2023. This contract is not set aside for any specific business type. As a public research...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University for research related to microgravity bubble transport in an open wedge conduit. The $199,742.20 grant seeks to: (1) complete data reduction of a ~1 terabyte database from the prior CCF-EU2 experiment conducted on the International Space Station, (2) pursue additional science objectives suggested by the CCF database, (3) conduct complementary drop tower tests, (4) apply numerical...
- This is a $302,078.02 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to develop a "robust indicator of extreme precipitation over the Continental United States" based on data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) programs. The indicator will categorize extreme precipitation events similar to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, allowing tracking of trends in...
- Portland State University was awarded a $115,525.98 training grant contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to develop a Leidenfrost Driven Waste-Water Separator (LDS) in response to NASA's Technology Area 6.1 for Environmental Control and Life Support Systems and Habitation Systems. The LDS aims to provide solutions for waste management and water recovery in microgravity environments by leveraging the Leidenfrost effect. The research, to be...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU), an urban public research university in Portland, Oregon. The award is a $128,131.22 Cooperative Agreement with no set-aside designation. The award directly supports the goals and objectives of the ICEE 2 Announcement of Opportunity and the future NASA Europa Lander mission, with a focus on the development of a microscope instrument for life...
- This is a $858,990.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) for research on the biological sulfur metabolism of methanogens, ancient microorganisms that emerged on the anaerobic Earth over 2 billion years ago. The grant, titled "DESCRIPTION OF KEY CENTRAL OBJECTIVES SULFUR ASSIMILATION AND TRAFFICKING IN METHANOGENS EXHIBIT UNIQUE FEATURES AS COMPARED WITH ALL OTHER EXTANT ORGANISMS, REFLECTING THE EMERGENCE OF THESE...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU) to conduct applied science and engineering research on advanced life support systems for space exploration. The $387,364.70 grant is for developing solutions to NASA's needs in areas such as passive biofluids management, water delivery and management for plants in space, and crowd-sourcing plant root water delivery methods. The research will involve forming an applied engineering research team at PSU to perform low-gravity fluid physics experiments, with the goal of increasing the technology readiness level for various low-gravity fluid physics unit operations. The results will be published in aerospace journals and uploaded to NASA's public data archive. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
