- 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...
- This is a $268,102.03 grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the origin of the volatile envelopes of small-radius exoplanets. The purpose is to improve understanding of the chemical and physical processes that govern exoplanet surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres, as well as the origins of their volatiles. The research will combine models of planet thermal evolution and outgassing to explore two scenarios for how water...
- 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...
- The University of Chicago received a $432.7K research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, awarded on July 1, 2025, with completion targeted for June 30, 2028. The grant supports execution of a balanced science program aligned with guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The University of Chicago will serve as a key partner in the funding agency's exploration initiative,...
- 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...
- 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 $166,766 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit research university. The grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. The university will participate as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $161,315.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the geological and geophysical processes that drive material transport between the subsurface oceans and surfaces of icy moons such as Europa and Enceladus. The research aims to understand the habitability of these oceans and the potential for detecting biosignatures on the surface, which is...
- 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...
