Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The University of Oklahoma's Office of Research Administration received a $492,667 Project Grant from NASA's Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001) awarded on August 16, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of August 15, 2028. Based on the funding agency's mission, this award supports scientific research aligned with NASA's strategic objectives to expand human knowledge through scientific discoveries. The specific scope involves executing a balanced science program guided by discipline-specific recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, while serving as a key partner and enabler in advancing NASA's research priorities and Congressional directives.

The University of Oklahoma will deliver research services through its Office of Research Administration, operating from Norman, Oklahoma. Given the institution's established research portfolio spanning atmospheric sciences, meteorology, geophysics, engineering, and life sciences, this award likely supports scientific research and related studies consistent with NASA's Science Mission Directorate focus areas, which include astrophysics research, Earth system science, heliophysics, planetary science, biological and physical sciences research, or lunar discovery and exploration. The two-year project timeline reflects standard research grant execution under NASA's competitive solicitation processes.
