This award, issued on September 1, 2025, carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive grant to support NASA's planetary...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for a research project focused on improving the monitoring of volcanic activity and eruptions using satellite data. The project aims to create a 30-year global record of volcanic thermal unrest by integrating measurements from various satellite sensors, with the goal of enhancing NASA's ability to forecast volcanic behavior and mitigate its effects on society. The grant has...
This $462,974 federal grant award to the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The grant aims to position UH as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The award also seeks to advance...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for the 12th NASA Planetary Volcanology Field Workshop, to be held on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2016. The $89,534.19 grant will be awarded to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa, a public university system recognized as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant institution. The workshop will provide field experience in volcanic and volcano-sedimentary features that are analogous to those observed...
This is a $811,427.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant, titled "ISOTOPIC EVOLUTION OF PROTOPLANETARY DISK RECORDED BY REFRACTORY INCLUSIONS AND CHONDRULES IN CH AND CB CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITES," will support research related to the study of protoplanetary disks and meteorites. The University of Hawaii is the prime awardee and there is no set-aside designation. The grant has an ultimate...
This is a $308,730.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Hawaii (UH) to investigate the flux and nature of extraterrestrial materials arriving on Earth and other planets over time. The research aims to study the impact history of planetary bodies and the dynamical evolution of the asteroid belt by analyzing extraterrestrial chromite grains isolated from slowly deposited sedimentary sections. This grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which seeks to understand processes...
This is a $493,305 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant public research university in Hawaii. The grant is not associated with a set-aside program. The grant funding supports three key research objectives: 1) characterizing the mobility of phosphorus in olivine crystals in the lunar crust and upper mantle, 2) determining if the phosphorus enrichment observed in a previous study...
The University of Hawaii, doing business as the University of Hawaii at Manoa, was awarded a $194,869 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the "MODVOLC ALGORITHM: NEAR-REAL-TIME DETECTION, MONITORING AND QUANTIFICATION OF GLOBAL VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS USING TERRA AND AQUA MODIS" project. This research grant, with a period of performance through August 31, 2025, will leverage the university's expertise in earth and environmental sciences to develop an...
The University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH), a public university system and the primary institution of higher education in Hawaii, has been awarded a $622,953 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to execute a balanced science program. The grant, awarded under NASA's ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity, aims to support UH's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, with a focus on scientific research...
This is a $335,794.40 grant award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa for a study to assess the dispersal of explosive volcanic products (tephra) in the present and past Mars environment. The goal is to determine whether explosive eruptions on Mars were capable of distributing material on a regional to global scale, or if other origins must be sought for certain Martian surface deposits. The study will involve developing quantitative analyses of particle settling and dispersal processes, and comparing model predictions to observed deposits on Earth and Mars. This work is responsive to the objectives of NASA's Solar System Workings program. The award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UH's status as a large educational institution that has received numerous federal contracts and grants for specialized research, including in astronomy, oceanography, and other scientific fields.
