About this award
American University has been awarded a $331,464 cooperative agreement by a Civilian Shared Services Center, effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027. The work involves performing rate-coefficient calculations using advanced ab initio electron correlation methods, including Complete Active Space Perturbation Theory (CASPT2), Multireference Configuration Interaction (MRCI), and Coupled Cluster with Single, Double, and Perturbative Triple excitations (CCSD(T)). The research will focus on the Titan environment, with researchers retrieving vertical temperature profiles from calibrated data sources. This non-set-aside cooperative agreement leverages American University's established capabilities in scientific research and computational chemistry to support federal research objectives.
As a private, non-profit research university located in Washington, D.C., American University brings significant experience delivering sophisticated research services to federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation. The university's track record includes substantial funding for advanced research projects spanning astrophysics, planetary science, and related computational domains. This award demonstrates the university's continued capability to support federal research initiatives requiring specialized technical expertise in computational methods and planetary science research, particularly in characterizing atmospheric properties of celestial bodies.
