The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $301,160 Project Grant to the Planetary Science Institute to support research toward developing a realistic model of terrestrial planet and water delivery formation. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), this three-year award beginning September 15, 2021 will promote progress in understanding major problems in planetary sciences through advancing scientific knowledge and modeling of the processes involved in early solar system evolution and habitability of terrestrial planets. Research outcomes will provide insight into the role of water delivery in making planets hospitable for life.
