- This is a $1,959,917.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center division of NASA to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to gain a comprehensive understanding of the global energy budget and energy partitioning in solar eruptive events from the chromosphere to the inner heliosphere. As a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation development, and data system services to federal agencies, the Smithsonian Institution through its SAO division frequently collaborates...
- This is a $76,323 grant award to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to execute a balanced science program. The award is focused on the Smithsonian's role as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiatives, conducting scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, Lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The work scope also includes advancing discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting...
- This is a $36,613 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. The grant, titled "DISK DETECTIVE V2.0 IDENTIFYING UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTELLAR DISKS VIA CITIZEN SCIENCE", is for research and is set to run until May 7, 2025. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is a non-profit organization that conducts scientific research, instrumentation development, and data...
- This is a $100,777 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for "MULTI CHANNEL, HIGH RESOLUTION MEASUREMENTS OF X RAY EMISSION FOLLOWING DIELECTRONIC RECOMBINATION IN SUPPORT OF HIGH ENERGY X RAY ASTROPHYSICS". The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, is a non-profit organization that conducts scientific research and development for NASA...

The grant is for the "Confirmation and Characterization of Small TESS Planets 2023" research project, which does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is a non-profit organization that conducts scientific research, instrumentation...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The $334,363.00 grant is for a research project titled "The Protoplanetary Disk--Debris Disk Connection", with a period of performance ending on January 15, 2027. SAO, a non-profit research and educational organization, has extensive experience conducting scientific research and providing technical...
This is a $110,656.93 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to conduct a comprehensive study on the interaction of core collapse supernovae (CCSNE) with their dense circumstellar medium (CSM). The study will focus on the processes that destroy and reform dust in the CSM environment, and the manifestations of these processes in the supernova light curves, with a specific emphasis on the prototype Type IIn supernova SN2010JL. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to provide important insights and guides for interpreting Type IIn supernova light curves and determining the nature of the explosions and their surrounding environments. As a prime grantee, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory has a long history of conducting scientific research and providing specialized instrumentation and systems to support NASA and National Science Foundation (NSF) space missions and scientific studies in astrophysics, solar physics, and other areas of the physical sciences.
