- This $90,000.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame) to advance the goals of NASA's Astrophysics Division. The grant will fund projects that deepen the understanding of how the material inside the circumgalactic medium (CGM) informs a galaxy's stage of evolution. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Notre Dame, a leading private Catholic research university, is the prime awardee and will leverage...
- This is a $50,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame for research on magnetic cataclysmic variable stars. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2023, will allow the university to observe a large sample of these types of stars to study variations in their rates of mass transfer. The University of Notre Dame is a leading private Catholic research university that frequently partners with government...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC23K0269, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac's Notre Dame Research Division, doing business as the Office of Research. The $555,917.00 grant is for fundamental research on "The Origin of Earth: Lessons from Multi-Planet Systems" and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Notre Dame is a leading private Catholic...
- This is a $825,089.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac for a research project titled "TRANSCRIPTOMICS FROM SPACE: LINKING REMOTE SENSING TO TREE GENE EXPRESSION IN A DIVERSE SET OF SPECIES THROUGH THE GROWING SEASON AND IN RESPONSE TO WATER DEFICIT". The project aims to link remote sensing data to tree gene expression across different species and in response to water deficits. This grant is not associated...
- This federal contract award to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac is a $3,409,145.00 grant for research to be executed over a term ending on July 31, 2029. The contract is funded by a civilian U.S. government agency and supports the agency's scientific research and exploration initiatives, with a focus on discipline-specific guidance, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency's exploration initiatives,...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC25K7302, was granted to the University of Notre Dame DU Lac by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency. The $150,000.00 grant will fund the university's execution of a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The research will focus on scientific activities of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as part of the agency's exploration...
- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct research on the physical conditions of melting of lunar magma ocean (LMO) cumulates. The objective is to use phase equilibrium experiments to determine the melting behavior of a series of LMO cumulate compositions over a range of pressures and temperatures. The research will provide inputs to a 3-component major element cumulate remelting...
This is a $356,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Notre Dame's Notre Dame Research Division, doing business as the Office of Research. The grant is for a multi-year research project to investigate the evolution of the lunar magma ocean and its implications for the early differentiation of the Moon. The research aims to address key scientific questions about the mineralogy of the lunar lower mantle, the effects of a whole-moon lunar magma ocean on trace element evolution, and the consistency of the post-solidification lunar mantle structure with geophysical and thermal models. The project involves a combination of high-pressure experiments and modeling efforts to integrate petrological and geophysical data. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating Notre Dame's specialized capabilities as a leading research university in planetary science and geophysics.
