Federal Project Grant Award Summary

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Inc. received a $210,429 Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center under the Science program (CFDA 43.001), effective March 24, 2026, through March 23, 2029. The award supports the execution of a balanced science program aligned with discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, as well as administration priorities and direction from Congress. Research activities will be conducted at the university's Daytona Beach, Florida facility.

Given Embry-Riddle's established expertise in aerospace engineering, space science, and advanced technology development, combined with the university's substantial history of NASA-funded research initiatives, this award likely supports scientific research and investigation activities within NASA's Science Mission Directorate portfolio. The university's participation as a key partner and enabler suggests contributions to one or more of NASA's core research areas, which may encompass astrophysics, Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, or lunar exploration initiatives. The three-year performance period aligns with typical NASA Science program award durations for research projects.
