- 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 is a $871,941.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago for a research project focused on the mineralogy, chemical and isotopic compositions of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in the early solar system. The award, which has no set-aside designation, aims to improve understanding of the formation and evolution of early solar system materials through laboratory experiments. The University of Chicago is a renowned private research institution that...
- 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 $115,056.98 federal grant award to the University of Chicago supports research on the petrologic, isotopic, and chemical aspects of the origin of the solar system. The work includes petrographic and geochemical analysis of pristine and metamorphosed chondrite meteorites, as well as experimental studies on redox conditions during chondrule formation. The grant also funds isotopic studies of chondrules, calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions, and refractory inclusion rims to understand the timing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $104,306 grant to the University of Chicago to conduct research related to presolar grains found in primitive meteorites, interplanetary dust particles, cometary samples, and samples from asteroids Ryugu and Bennu. Presolar grains are believed to have condensed in the winds of evolved stars and stellar explosions. This grant-funded research project has a completion date of March 31, 2025. The University of Chicago is a leading...
- This contract is a $127,926 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a private university and non-profit organization. The grant supports research to study the isotopic evolution of presolar silicates and "glass with embedded metal and sulfides" (GEMS) to understand their origins, histories, and relationships. This research directly addresses NASA's Planetary Science Division goals to explore...
- This is a $909,647.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit university. The grant supports research goals to study the chronology of cometary and asteroidal dust, nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies in cometary and interstellar dust, and elemental abundances and acceleration mechanisms of the solar wind. Key measurements will be conducted using the CHILI resonance ionization mass spectrometer on samples...
- 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 is a $268,102.03 grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the origin of the volatile envelopes of small-radius exoplanets. The purpose is to improve understanding of the chemical and physical processes that govern exoplanet surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres, as well as the origins of their volatiles. The research will combine models of planet thermal evolution and outgassing to explore two scenarios for how water...
- This federal contract award, valued at $749,931.32, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to conduct research on kinetic isotopic fractionation of solar system materials. The research aims to provide laboratory calibration experiments under controlled conditions to quantify isotopic and chemical fractionation effects observed in early solar system materials, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and olivine crystals from...
