This program provides opportunities for the continued exploration of the world around us through research grants in support of astrobiological field studiesencouraging the best young scientists to engage in the exploration vision of NASA. This year, six Lewis and Clark Field Scholars were jointly selected by the NAI and APS. Their projects span the breadth of astrobiology research and the globe taking them this summer to locales such as Iceland, Greenland, Utah, and the Andes.
