About this award
The Washington University, through its Office of Sponsored Research Services, was awarded a $6.93M cooperative agreement by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 1, 2022, to develop and implement the Trans-Iron Galactic Element Recorder for the International Space Station (TIGERISS), a nucleosynthesis research instrument. This award, issued under solicitation 21-PIONEERS21-0012, represents a significant investment in advanced scientific instrumentation with a completion target of September 30, 2027. The contract is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional procurement, reflecting the collaborative nature of research development for space-based scientific missions. No small business set-aside was applied to this award, and the work will be performed at the university's University City, Missouri campus.
The Washington University's selection for this award builds on its established capacity as a major research institution with extensive federal funding across multiple scientific disciplines, including advanced research capabilities in engineering, computational sciences, and specialized instrumentation development. TIGERISS represents the university's contribution to fundamental astrophysics research through the development of detection equipment designed to record trans-iron galactic elements aboard the International Space Station, supporting nucleosynthesis studies that advance understanding of stellar processes and cosmic chemical composition. The cooperative agreement structure enables sustained collaboration between the government and the institution throughout the instrument development, validation, and deployment phases over the five-year performance period.
