About this award
The U.S. government has awarded a $94,007.21 Cooperative Agreement to the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a non-profit subsidiary of West Virginia University, to conduct "Transient Universe Focused Studies" related to recent discoveries in radio astronomy, specifically Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) - a highly enigmatic phenomenon. This effort falls under the purview of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside designation. West Virginia University, the parent organization, is a public land-grant research university that frequently partners with federal agencies on a wide range of research, engineering, and technical assistance projects through contracts and grants. This award appears to leverage the university's expertise in astrophysics and support NASA's ongoing studies of the transient universe.
