- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,200.52 training grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to study the composition of comets using data from NASA's NEOWISE mission. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs from September 2017 to August 2020. UCLA, through its Office of Research Administration, will analyze the infrared data to characterize the dust, nuclei, and volatile gas content of approximately 100 comets,...
- This federal contract award is a $268,262.42 grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), acting through its Office of Research Administration division. The grant supports research into how sun-grazing comets can provide insights into the solar corona. The research involves developing models of cometary plasma in the solar corona and projecting cometary ion behavior to 1 AU. Results...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $264,063.65 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on factors influencing crater size-frequency distributions and derived model ages of lunar and Martian surfaces. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to improve the understanding of the lunar crater chronology and address challenges with the application of this dating technique to other solar system bodies. As a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $897,582 grant for research to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, runs from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 and involves research on "Supersonically Induced Gas Objects (SIGOS) with Little to No Dark Matter (DM) Component" expected to exist in certain regions of the universe. As a large public research...
- This is a $548,146.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Office of Research Administration to study the evolution of superposed craters and terrain types on planetary surfaces. The award has no set-aside designation and will fund research activities at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California through August 2025. As a public research university, UCLA has extensive experience supporting federal...
- This $520,732 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will support the execution of a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The award enables UCLA to participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The grant also supports...
- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the project "EVALUATING GEOCHRONOLOGIC COMPLEXITY AND IMPACTOR DIVERSITY OF HIGHLAND IMPACTITES". The $142,036.77 grant has an ultimate completion date of May 13, 2025. UCLA, a U.S. state government entity and 1862 Land Grant College, is the prime awardee and has demonstrated extensive capabilities in providing specialized research and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $560,580.36 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The grant will fund research to develop a machine learning-based approach for analyzing how the Earth's radiation belts evolve under different geomagnetic conditions. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a major research university, UCLA has extensive experience providing scientific...
- This $50,606.14 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), acting through its Office of Research Administration division. The grant supports research into the role of the inner magnetospheric electric field in magnetospheric dynamics and its influence on coupling to the ionosphere and earthward particle transport during magnetic storms. This research directly aligns with NASA's mission and science...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $130,076.23 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the formation environment of the solar system using short-lived radionuclides. This research grant, with a completion date of September 20, 2022, is not set-aside and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California. UCLA's Office of Research Administration, a division of the university, is managing this grant award. The work...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the fragmentation of comets. The objective is to better understand the mechanisms behind cometary fragmentation and determine the separate rates of fragmentation for long-period and short-period comets using archival data and follow-up ground-based telescope observations. This research aims to assess the significance of fragmentation on overall comet lifetimes and the implications for maintaining a steady-state supply of comets from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. The award does not have a set-aside designation and the work will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California. UCLA's parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office, which has also received federal grants for supporting research in areas like computer science, microbial analysis, and cancer clinical trials.
