- This is a federal grant award to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $557,150 grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as NASA's priorities and direction from Congress. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
- 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 $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 $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...
- This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, supports research on the depletion of volatile elements in the Moon. The $102,299.96 training grant will fund investigations into the stable isotopic compositions of rubidium and zinc in lunar samples returned by the Apollo missions. The goal is to better understand the processes, such as the Moon-forming giant impact and secondary magma degassing, that led to the depletion of...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit academic and research institution, for a project titled "The Oxidation State and Mineralogy of Extraterrestrial Materials". The $643,000 grant will support the use of synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and high-speed X-ray microdiffraction (micro-XRD) techniques to analyze the chemical state and mineralogy of...

- 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...
