The University of Arizona, as a state-run research institution, has extensive expertise in astrophysics and planetary science, which it...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $2,078,624.00 Cooperative Agreement from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a next-generation global precipitation data record with improved accuracy, consistency, timeliness, and resolution for climate change, early warning, and scientific analyses. This 5-year award, spanning from October 2023 to October 2028, does not have a set-aside designation. The University of...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, received a $419,353 research grant from a civilian federal agency to investigate planet-disk interactions, exocomets, and seeds for life. The grant was awarded on January 1, 2023, with work to be completed by December 31, 2026, and will be performed at the university's Tucson, Arizona campus. This award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive positioning in federal research procurement....
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $363,224 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under solicitation 22-ADAP22-0066 to develop a comprehensive spectral line list for near-infrared spectroscopy covering the 1-5 micron wavelength range using M-dwarf and red giant stars as astronomical benchmarks. The grant, awarded on August 8, 2023, with performance concluding by August 7, 2026, supports fundamental...
- This federal contract award, valued at $84,705.04, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university in Tucson, Arizona. The award is for a research grant titled "TOO OBSERVATIONS OF A RE-AWAKENING AGN: EXPLORING THE PHYSICS OF CHANGING-LOOK AGN" with a performance period ending on April 4, 2024.

The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $130,429.14 Other transaction contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is for research into how atmospheric circulation shapes the distribution of clouds and hazes on exoplanets with sizes comparable to Neptune and below. The goal is to advance understanding of why some exoplanet transmission spectra show clear molecular features while others are featureless or have muted features. The research will utilize a 3D general circulation model developed by the university to study the role of vertical mixing in aerosol distribution. As a land grant institution with expertise in areas like space science and atmospheric modeling, the University of Arizona is well-positioned to conduct this work, which could provide insights to support future exoplanet characterization efforts.
