- This federal contract award to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution for Science, a renowned non-profit research organization, supports fundamental scientific research on early solar system materials. The $318,241.16 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center aims to investigate the formation and evolution of chondrite matrices and chondritic porous interplanetary dust particles, which contain clues about processes in the early solar system. The research...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The $191,014.00 grant will support proposed research to investigate alteration processes affecting the isotopic and elemental composition of water and insoluble organic matter in chondrite parent bodies. Specific experiments will examine the kinetics of...
- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...

The grant, valued at $500,000.00, is for a research project titled "Compositions, Physical Properties, and Mobility of Liquids at High Pressure: Implications for Differentiation and Core Properties of Planetary Bodies." The research aims to simulate the early...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This $105,999.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct observational and theoretical investigations into the formation of igneous rims around chondrules. The research aims to improve understanding of the processes that occurred in the early history of the solar system, with a focus on the formation and evolution of planetesimals and planetary bodies. The grant supports a highly...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant, valued at $359,486.77, is for a research project titled "PRESOLAR STARDUST IN THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM". The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on July 31, 2022. As a prime grantee, the Carnegie Institution for...
- Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution for Science, has been awarded a $521,855 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct an experimental study of planetary differentiation and core composition. As the prime grantee, Carnegie Institution for Science will leverage its expertise in Earth and planetary science to advance NASA's goals of furthering scientific understanding of planetary formation and...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), acting through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $423,979.57 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct coordinated petrologic, mineralogical, and isotopic investigations of early-formed nebular condensates preserved in chondritic meteorites. This research aims to better constrain the earliest environments in the solar nebula and shed light on the formation and early evolution of the solar...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $541,000 grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to examine chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in primitive meteorites to determine if they preserve evidence of volatile incorporation from the solar nebula and record open-system behavior during parent body alteration. The researchers will use advanced analytical techniques like secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to study the abundances and isotopic compositions of hydrogen and oxygen in these materials. The goal is to better understand the sources of hydrogen present in the early inner Solar System and the processes that affected these samples. This grant-funded effort aligns with NASA's broader programs in planetary science and cosmochemistry research.
