Project Grant Award Summary The SETI Institute received a $185,478 Project Grant from NASA's Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001) awarded September 1, 2026, with completion targeted for August 31, 2028. The grant funds research to expand the range of realistic habitable-zone planetary environments through advanced coupled climate photochemical and atmospheric escape modeling. The project will generate diverse scenarios of both inhabited and uninhabited planetary conditions and produce corresponding spectral data to support exoplanet characterization and habitability assessment. This research aligns with NASA's Planetary Science Research focus area, which seeks to determine the content, origin, and evolution of the solar system and assess the potential for life beyond Earth. The work will be conducted at the SETI Institute's Mountain View, California facility, leveraging the institute's established expertise in exoplanet detection, planetary science investigations, and astrobiology research. The modeling outputs and spectral datasets generated will advance NASA's capacity to analyze and interpret observations of potentially habitable exoplanetary systems.
