- This is a $124,647.04 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct a systematic study of the atmospheres of directly imaged exoplanets. The grant is part of NASA's "Understanding the Directly Imaged Planets" program, which aims to advance exoplanet science by characterizing newly discovered planets through ground-based and space-based spectroscopy. UCSC, as a public research university and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $360,676.72 grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on exoplanet characterization. The research aims to use the SCExAO and CHARIS instruments on the Subaru Telescope to survey for new exoplanets around nearby young stars, obtain and characterize spectra of both newly discovered and known exoplanets, and use the spectra to infer the planets' properties and connect them to theories of giant...
- The University of California, Santa Cruz received a $5.01 million research grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with a completion date of April 30, 2026. This grant supports an interdisciplinary research program investigating the formation, evolution, and characterization of planetary atmospheres around other stars, with particular focus on understanding volatile element pathways from star-forming clouds through protoplanetary disks to planets. The research...
- The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) received a $371,142 grant award (21-XRP21-0083) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on exoplanet aerosols. The research initiative, titled "Towards a Holistic Understanding of Exoplanet Aerosols Using Microphysical Modeling," aims to systematically investigate the formation, distribution, and observational consequences of haze and cloud aerosols on warm and hot tidally locked exoplanets, including hot Jupiters and warm...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on the relationship between the metallicity of stars and the formation of exoplanets. The award, which has no set-aside designation, is part of NASA's efforts to better understand planetary system formation. The University of Texas at Austin is a major research university with extensive experience in federal research grants and contracts...
- This is a $39,999.50 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a research project titled "Probing the Progenitor Metallicity of Type Ia Supernovae with Early-Time UV Spectroscopy". The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSC, which has a longstanding history of collaborating with federal agencies on research and development initiatives, will leverage its expertise in astrophysics to...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $38,714 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the Exoplanet Summer Program at the Other Worlds Laboratory. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.

- This is a $3,264,796.24 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for a research project titled "Exoplanets Unveiled: Formation, Evolution and Prospects for Life". The project aims to study the properties of exoplanetary systems, their formation and evolution, as well as their potential to support life and motivate search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) programs. The research leverages advanced methods in planet detection, including radial...
- This is a $503,870 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study the patterns of moderately volatile element depletion in the silicate portions of planetary bodies. The research aims to investigate whether volatile loss from partially molten planetesimals can explain the observed elemental depletion patterns and whether conventional or "Grand Tack" accretion models are more consistent with the data....
- This $35,989.83 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support the "A NICER VIEW OF RARE AND EXTREME BLACK HOLE TRANSIENT ACCRETION EVENTS" research project. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for a period of research and exploration into rare and extreme black hole phenomena using NASA's Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) mission. As a leading...
