This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, a private research university, for a research project titled "Characterizing Small K2 Planets with the HARPS-N Spectrograph." The purpose of the project is to study the relationship between the masses, radii, insolation, and metallicities of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission, using high-precision radial...
This $1,076,775 federal grant award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University, funds research to enhance the accuracy and precision of planetary parameters derived from transit photometry data. The research leverages the ExoFastV2 global modeling approach to simultaneously constrain planet eccentricity without the need for radial velocity measurements, addressing biases in prior methods that assumed circular orbits. This work is expected to improve fundamental...
This is a $429,799.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) for a project titled "A NEW METRIC OF STRATOSPHERIC MIXING FROM TRACE GAS INTERRELATIONSHIPS". The grant is for research work and does not have a set-aside designation. Harvard University is the prime contractor and there are no major subcontractors mentioned. The grant is for research related to stratospheric mixing, which supports NASA's broader...
This is a $1,232,048.93 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) on February 1, 2017. The grant, titled "FIELD MEASUREMENTS OF ATMOSPHERIC TRACE SPECIES: AIRBORNE/BALLOON IN SITU AND GROUND-BASED REMOTE SE", aims to conduct field measurements of key atmospheric trace gases such as CO2, CH4, N2O, CO, and C2H6 using airborne platforms like Global Hawk, WB57F, ER2, DC8, and...
This is a federal grant award to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University), a prestigious private research institution, to experimentally characterize and quantify water and organic ice deuterium depletion, and water-organics deuterium exchange mechanisms. The objective is to decode the isotopic fingerprints of solar system volatiles through a laboratory investigation of isotopic fractionation chemistry in interstellar ice analogs. The $390,363.99 grant was awarded on January...
This federal contract award, with ID number 80NSSC22K0165, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University. The $69,999.21 grant is for research related to the study of M dwarf stars, which are the most easily observed exoplanets. This award is not associated with any set-aside program. Harvard University, a prestigious private research institution, is the prime contractor on this grant and will likely...
This $448,985 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to conduct research on the atmospheric volatile transport and habitability of rocky exoplanets orbiting M-class red dwarf stars. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of NASA's broader efforts to understand the climate and potential for life on exoplanets. The research will involve using a 3D general circulation model to study atmospheric heat transport, volatile collapse, and long-term water stability on these types of planets, with the goal of informing future exoplanet observation and mission planning. The findings may also have implications for understanding volatile cycling in the solar system. As a leading research institution, Harvard University has extensive experience managing federal grants and contracts across a range of scientific disciplines.
