- This is a $458,999.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award supports research to improve understanding of the timing and processes involved in the formation and differentiation of the Moon and the parent bodies of eucrite meteorites. The research aims to address key questions about the abundances and distribution of highly siderophile elements, as well as the...
- The University of California San Diego, through its Scripps Institution of Oceanography, received a $792,136 grant award (20-SSW20-0008) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on the influence of impact processes on volatile abundances in and on the Moon. The research focuses on understanding volatile inventories on planetary surfaces and interiors, which is critical for modeling initial building blocks, magmatic processes, and the development of planetary cryospheres,...
- This federal contract award, valued at $804,744.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award seeks to refine the understanding of fundamental processes involved in the accretion and differentiation of the Moon and asteroids. The research will address three key questions related to the earliest stages of planetesimal and planet formation, including the behavior of...
- This is a $135,000.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to improve understanding of deep ocean basin tectonics. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD, operating through its Office of Contract & Grant Administration, is the prime recipient for this award. The grant funding will support research and development activities aimed at advancing scientific knowledge in this area....
- The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a grant award valued at $708,982 from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of April 24, 2028. This research grant supports the institution's contributions to the agency's balanced science program, which emphasizes discipline-specific guidance aligned with National Academies recommendations, administration priorities, and congressional direction. The award specifically enables Scripps to...
- This federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography supports research on the Mariana Forearc Serpentinite Mud Volcanoes. These unique seafloor features have been identified as a potential site for the origin of life on Earth due to their distinctive physical and chemical properties. The $135,000.00 grant, awarded on September 1, 2019, has an ultimate completion date of...
- The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $931,974 grant award from a civilian federal agency on October 27, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of October 26, 2028. The research grant supports the execution of a balanced science program aligned with discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and Congressional direction. The awardee will serve as a key partner in...
- This is a $70,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant is focused on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields through...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This is a $432,118 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study how the Moon's ancient magnetic field interacted with the early solar wind. The research aims to understand four key processes that were influenced by the Moon's "paleomagnetosphere", including the blocking or fractionation of solar wind species in lunar soils, the implantation of argon isotopes, the accumulation of volatiles at the...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with a total ceiling value of $770,203.00. The grant supports a research project titled "The Petrogenesis of Basalts from Mars and the Moon," which aims to examine the origin and evolution of Mars and the Moon through the study of meteorite samples. The research focuses on understanding the petrogenetic processes experienced by Martian and lunar magmas, using quantitative textural analysis and geochemical approaches. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, as the Scripps Institution of Oceanography is a non-profit, educational research institution. This award aligns with NASA's strategic science goals to explore and observe objects in the solar system to understand their formation and evolution, supporting and facilitating mission-based science.
