About this award
American University, a private nonprofit research institution based in Washington, D.C., was awarded a $371,161 cooperative agreement by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on April 1, 2024, to support research on "Revealing Primitive Material Preserved in Solar System Small Bodies." The cooperative agreement, which carries no small business set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by March 31, 2027. This award leverages American University's established expertise in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and planetary science, domains in which the institution has secured substantial prior funding for advanced research projects examining solar physics, cometary chemistry, and related phenomena.
The cooperative agreement reflects the federal government's investment in fundamental research addressing the composition and origins of primitive materials within small celestial bodies such as asteroids and comets. American University's role as the prime contractor positions the institution to conduct or coordinate investigative activities that advance understanding of the early solar system through the study of preserved extraterrestrial materials. This award aligns with the university's broader portfolio of federal research partnerships and demonstrates continued federal confidence in its capabilities to execute complex scientific investigations within established budgetary and timeline parameters.
