This is a $656,639 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Case Western Reserve University's Office of Research Administration Division, doing business as University Hospitals of Cleveland. The grant falls under NASA's Cosmic Origins Program and aims to address the question "How Does the Universe Work?" by providing fundamental data on the nature of galaxies. The work will empower other scientists to determine stellar masses for calibrating the relation between stellar mass...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) to support the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) program. The goal of ANSMET is to recover a comprehensive sample of extraterrestrial materials that have fallen to Earth and make them available for research. Over the past 45 years, ANSMET has recovered more than 21,000 meteorites from Antarctica, which have been crucial for studying our solar system. The $1,983,348...
This is a $400,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Case Western Reserve University's Office of Research Administration Division, doing business as University Hospitals of Cleveland, for research on "In-Situ Alloying of GRCOP-42". The grant was awarded on August 29, 2019, with a completion date of August 28, 2024. This award does not have a set-aside designation. Case Western Reserve University is a private...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC22K0805, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Case Western Reserve University for a project titled "Searching for the Topology of the Universe". The $812,780.00 grant is for research and has a period of performance through March 22, 2026. Case Western Reserve University, a private non-profit university in Cleveland, Ohio, will serve as the prime contractor for this effort. The award does not have a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $436,837.23 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on developing a new data-based model of the Earth's magnetospheric field. The goal is to better separate the internal geomagnetic field from external fluctuations, in order to study rapid variations in the Earth's core field and improve understanding of deep...
This is a $565,000 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a study on the isotopic composition of refractory lithophile elements in the earliest solar system materials, including refractory inclusions and chondrites. The goal is to better understand the nebular processes that controlled the chemical fractionation and mixing of elements during the formation of the solar system and the subsequent...
This is a $452,580.81 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to conduct interdisciplinary research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, with a focus on investigating the physics and chemistry of solid and liquid material formation in the protoplanetary disk, and how those materials accreted into larger bodies. The research combines astrophysical-cosmochemical theory and modeling, petrological...
This is a $392,406.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for research on the processes regulating the formation of planets and their compositions. The research aims to test model predictions about dust grain migration, ice mantle formation, gas-phase molecular evolution, and disk gas dispersal, which influence planetesimal buildup and the eventual compositions of objects from comets to giant planet envelopes....
