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

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded Clemson University's Division of Research $111,430 under the Science program (CFDA 43.001) on September 9, 2025, to execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, aligned with administration priorities and congressional direction. The award period runs through September 8, 2026, with performance at Clemson, South Carolina. The Science Mission Directorate pursues NASA's strategic objective to expand human knowledge through scientific discoveries, competitively soliciting proposals across astrophysics, biological and physical sciences, Earth science and applied sciences, heliophysics, planetary science, cross-divisional research, and lunar discovery and exploration. Proposals are evaluated on intrinsic merit (scientific quality, technical quality, personnel qualifications, and available resources), relevance to NASA's mission and program objectives, and cost reasonableness.
