This award is part of the SETI Institute's broader work with NASA, including a $4.7 million...
- This $59,890.08 federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was issued by NASA's Shared Services Center. The grant supports the Institute's research on "LAYING THE FOUNDATION FOR A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF TRANSITING EXOPLANETS WITH THE GALACTIC BULGE SURVEY." This work aligns with NASA's exoplanet research initiatives and contributes to the understanding of the origin and nature of life beyond Earth. The SETI Institute holds an Indefinite Delivery...
- This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The grant, valued at $50,000.00, is for research related to NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The research aims to discover more than 200 exoplanets in the continuous viewing zone of TESS, which will provide a valuable dataset to characterize planet and star properties, search for...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $70,000 grant to The Seti Institute, a non-profit organization, to support research detecting and vetting planet candidates in data from the NASA Future Imagers for Exoplanet Science (FFI) program. As the prime awardee, The Seti Institute will conduct scientific analysis of FFI data to identify potential exoplanets and characterize exoplanet properties without use of a set-aside designation. The research aims to advance NASA's...
- The SETI Institute, a nonprofit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $490,090 grant on January 1, 2024, to conduct research on transiting exoplanet science utilizing a global network of small ground-based telescopes. The award, designated as a research grant with no socioeconomic set-aside, will be performed at the institute's Mountain View location and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2027. The funding originates from a civilian...
- This is a $21,092 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, to enable citizen science discovery in data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The grant supports the SETI Institute's research and analysis of TESS light curve data to advance the understanding of exoplanets and potentially identify signs of extraterrestrial life. The award does not utilize any socioeconomic set-aside designations, indicating the SETI...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $100,000.00 grant is for the discovery and vetting of exoplanets observed by the K2 mission, a continuation of the Kepler space telescope program. The goal is to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets suitable for follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The grant will fund the observation of 6,000 bright, dwarf stars over two K2 observing campaigns, which is expected to yield at least 100 transiting exoplanets. The SETI Institute will utilize its expertise in vetting exoplanets to eliminate false positives and create a publicly available catalog of the planet candidates. This work directly contributes to NASA's Astrophysics Division's goal of discovering and studying planets around other stars. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the SETI Institute has held multiple contract and grant awards from NASA for research related to exoplanets, planetary science, and astrobiology.
