Arizona State University, through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), received a $231,523 Project Grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Science program (CFDA 43.001) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. The award supports execution of a balanced science program grounded in discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, with research activities to be conducted at ASU's Scottsdale, Arizona facility. As a key partner in NASA's Science Mission Directorate initiatives, ASU will advance scientific discoveries across multiple disciplines aligned with NASA's strategic objectives and congressional direction.

The specific research deliverables under this three-year project grant encompass scientific investigations, theoretical modeling, data analysis, and publication of results in peer-reviewed venues, consistent with NASA's Science program requirements. ASU's institutional expertise across astrophysics, planetary science, heliophysics, Earth system science, and related research domains positions the institution to conduct competitive, merit-based research that contributes to NASA's mission of expanding human knowledge through new scientific discoveries. The award is administered by NASA's Shared Services Center and reflects ASU's established track record as a premier research institution capable of executing complex federal research initiatives.
