Execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the national academies of sciences engineering and medicine administration priorities and direction from congress

This Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) provides $245,144.00 to the University of Arizona to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine, NASA's exploration initiatives, and congressional direction. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027. The university will advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines, and develop a user-focused approach to applied programs including Earth science, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness. The university frequently collaborates with other research institutions and serves as both a prime grantee and sub-recipient for NASA grants across a range of scientific disciplines.

Participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency S exploration initiative focusing on scientific research of on and from the moon lunar orbit mars and beyond. Advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines develop a directorate-wide target-user focused approach to applied programs including earth science applications space weather planetary defense and space situational awareness.
