- This is a $114,203.72 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is focused on studying the formation and evolution of melt ponds on the surface of Arctic sea ice. The goal is to improve understanding of the mechanisms governing melt pond evolution and use melt pond patterns to infer the state of the Arctic ice, ocean, and atmosphere. This...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K0374, is a $1,302,500.00 grant for research awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract has no set-aside designation and is set to be completed by March 31, 2026. The grant supports scientific research, with a revised budget that reduces the number of postdoctoral researchers from one to one-half, while the other half would come from the university's own...
- This federal contract award, Grant ID NNX16AJ38G, was granted to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Mars Data Analysis Program. The $250,459.54 grant is funding research to quantify the role of fluvial erosion versus other processes in modifying Noachian craters on Mars. The research aims to better constrain the rates and processes of Noachian landscape evolution, which can inform climate models for early Mars. This grant does not have...
- This $318,348 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for a research project titled "E014042-MARS SEDIMENTATION IN SPACE AND TIME". The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is focused on conducting research related to sediment formation and deposition on Mars. As a renowned private research university, the University of Chicago has a long history of receiving substantial federal funding through...
- This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC24K0021, was granted by the Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, for a project titled "The Downstream Impacts of Extratropical Transition in a Changing Climate." The $150,000.00 grant, which is not set-aside, is for research to be completed by October 3, 2026. The University of Chicago has extensive experience in delivering advanced scientific research and technological services to federal...
- This is a $134,664 training grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on September 1, 2020. The grant will fund research to model the processes that enabled the stability of surface liquid water on Mars later into its history, potentially extending the planet's habitability. The research aims to constrain the volume of water and number of outflow events required to produce observed surface features called "pollywogs," which...
- This federal contract award, valued at $564,892.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) for research to advance remote sensing techniques using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reflectometry to monitor freshwater surface properties, particularly seasonal ice formation on the Laurentian Great Lakes. The effort aims to develop methods to differentiate liquid freshwater from lake ice cover, with the goal of...
- This is a $454,628 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to conduct research on "Probing Feeding and Feedback in the Circumgalactic Medium Using OVI as a Tracer". The award has an ultimate completion date of January 10, 2026 and is not set-aside. The University of Chicago is a renowned private research university that has a significant portfolio of federal contracts and grants, delivering cutting-edge research and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $373,274.86, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The award is focused on "Controls on Iceberg Distribution Around Greenland" and aims to create a comprehensive database of glacier calving and iceberg properties using satellite imagery and automated processing. The key objectives are to quantify the terminus...
This federal contract award, valued at $102,300.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The award is part of an investigation into supraglacial lakes and hydrology in North Greenland, with the overall aim of improving understanding of lake development and drainage, and assessing the implications for subglacial hydrology and ice dynamics. The research will analyze lake evolution on grounded and floating ice, investigate lake formation and drainage, and predict how supraglacial hydrology and lake evolution will evolve under climate change scenarios. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting the University of Chicago's status as a renowned private research institution with a strong track record of securing federal funding for advanced scientific research. The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2018.
