Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $116,697 Project Grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center under the Science program (CFDA 43.001) effective March 13, 2026, with completion by March 12, 2028. The award supports execution of a balanced science program guided by discipline-specific recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, in alignment with NASA administration priorities and Congressional direction. The work is performed at the University of Colorado's Boulder, Colorado facility.

While the specific technical deliverables are not detailed in the award documentation, the Science program (CFDA 43.001) administered by NASA's Science Mission Directorate typically funds competitive research across multiple scientific disciplines including astrophysics, biological and physical sciences, Earth science, heliophysics, and planetary science. Primary deliverables under such awards generally include theoretical modeling, data analysis, laboratory experiments, field studies, and peer-reviewed scientific publications. Given the University of Colorado's substantial track record as a NASA research partner—including ongoing work on space life science research platforms, microgravity research payloads, and biomedical research initiatives—this award positions the university to continue its role as a key partner in advancing NASA's scientific discovery objectives.
