The University of Chicago, a renowned private research institution, will conduct this cutting-edge scientific research under the grant. This award is not associated with any set-aside designation. The University of...
- 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...
- This is a $909,647.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit university. The grant supports research goals to study the chronology of cometary and asteroidal dust, nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies in cometary and interstellar dust, and elemental abundances and acceleration mechanisms of the solar wind. Key measurements will be conducted using the CHILI resonance ionization mass spectrometer on samples...
- 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 is a federal grant award to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $557,150 grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as NASA's priorities and direction from Congress. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
- This is a $85,786.09 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program and will fund a study using non-destructive electron and X-ray microbeam techniques to analyze lunar rock samples. The goal is to determine the valence and coordination of titanium, vanadium, and chromium in the lunar rocks, which will provide insights into the redox conditions of the lunar mantle and crust during...
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 and processes of early solar system evolution. This grant is part of NASA's program to further our understanding of the formation and early evolution of the solar system. The award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting the University of Chicago's status as a major research institution. The university often collaborates with other academic and research partners on these types of federal grants.
