The Trustees of Boston University received a $328,768 research grant from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, awarded on September 1, 2025. The project aims to quantify hydrogen (H2) abundance in Mars's upper atmosphere, addressing a critical knowledge gap for understanding water abundance, water loss processes, and the planet's potential habitability. This research supports NASA's broader Mars exploration objectives and the agency's scientific investigations into planetary atmospheres. The grant runs through August 31, 2028, and represents a non-set-aside award for fundamental scientific research. Boston University, a comprehensive research institution with an extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants, is well-positioned to execute this planetary science initiative. The university has established itself as a key research partner for agencies including NASA, NIH, NSF, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, with demonstrated expertise across multiple scientific disciplines including space exploration and advanced technological development. This Mars atmosphere research project aligns with Boston University's track record of conducting sophisticated scientific investigations and managing complex, multi-year research initiatives for federal agencies.
