- This is a $414,149.79 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a private research university, to model the post-accretion cooling of water-rich exoplanets. The objective is to assess the conditions under which these exoplanets will cool sufficiently to condense liquid water oceans. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting the University of Chicago's status as a large, established...
- This $495,428 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago supports research to characterize the atmospheres of potentially habitable exoplanets. This work aligns with major upcoming NASA missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as well as planned missions like LUVOIR, OST, and HabEx that aim to identify promising exoplanet targets. The grant is not set aside and funds the University of Chicago's cutting-edge research in...
- This $129,556.23 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was provided to the University of Chicago, a private research university, to support research on the effect of cloud microphysics on the climate and observational prospects of potentially habitable exoplanets. This research is a major goal for NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission as well as future missions such as LUVOIR, OST, and HABEX. The grant is intended to support the...
- This is a $333,226 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago on January 1, 2017 for research on "Gigayear Instabilities in Planetary Systems". The research will focus on studying the long-term dynamical stability of exoplanetary systems, including investigating the potential for instability on billion-year timescales that could impact planetary formation and evolution. The project will use numerical simulations and analytical...
- This federal contract award from NASA's Shared Services Center was granted to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, to conduct research on the habitability of water world exoplanets. The $537,298.31 grant funds the development of self-consistently coupled models of exoplanet interior structure, atmospheric radiative transfer, liquid-vapor thermochemical equilibria, and photochemistry. This research aims to delineate the solubility-mediated habitable zone for water...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $14,993 research grant by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) on January 1, 2024, to support research on photoevaporation from small planets orbiting young, active stars. The research will be conducted at the university's Chicago, Illinois campus with a completion date of December 31, 2024. This grant represents an open competition award with no set-aside designation and falls under the university's broader portfolio of federally...
- This federal grant award from the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) provides $554,243.43 to the University of Chicago to conduct research on the habitability of icy moons and exoplanets. The research aims to: Determine the effect of ice flow and ocean circulation on habitability under global thick ice cover, as could be found on Europa or icy exoplanets. Examine whether gaps in thick, near-global ice coverage can be maintained at the equator or substellar point, and the consequences for...
- 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...
- 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...
