The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded $143,596 to Trustees of Dartmouth College on September 15, 2025, under the Science program (CFDA 43.001), a Project Grant supporting NASA's Science Mission Directorate research across astrophysics, biological and physical sciences, Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, and related activities.
The award funds execution of a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine and administration priorities and direction from Congress, with Dartmouth participating as a key partner and enabler in NASA's strategic research objectives.
Dartmouth's Office of Sponsored Projects administers the award. Performance occurs in Hanover, New Hampshire, with a period of performance from September 15, 2025, through September 14, 2027. The Science Mission Directorate competitively solicits and evaluates proposals across six primary research domains, assessing intrinsic merit (scientific quality, technical quality, personnel qualifications, and facility resources), relevance to NASA strategic plans, and cost reasonableness as the basis for award decisions.
