- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0029, was granted to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) for research related to the X-ray emission properties of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The $71,426.05 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to study intrinsically X-ray weak AGNs, which may be more prevalent in broad absorption line (BAL) quasars. The award, which has a performance period ending on September 30, 2023, does not have a...
- The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $100,000 research grant (23-SWIFT23-0023) by a civilian federal agency to detect and monitor electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave sources using the Swift observatory during the Fourth Observing Run (O4). The award, issued on November 13, 2024, with a completion date of November 12, 2026, supports Penn State's participation in a key scientific initiative aligned with the agency's exploration and discovery objectives. The grant...
- This is a $39,951.16 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research identifying potential high-energy counterparts to fast radio bursts, whose progenitor systems and emission mechanism remain unknown. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2023. Penn State, a public research university, is a leading provider of research, engineering, and technical services to federal agencies...
- This is a $61,859 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) for the "DEVELOPMENT OF THE TIME DOMAIN AND MULTI-MESSENGER GUEST OBSERVER FACILITY" project. The grant has a period of performance through May 30, 2025 and is not set aside for a specific business type. Penn State, a public research university and 1862 land-grant college, has significant experience as a prime contractor and subcontractor on...
- The Pennsylvania State University received a $132,350 research grant awarded December 18, 2024, by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of December 17, 2026. This grant supports a comprehensive research initiative addressing multiple objectives aligned with the Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCos) Time Domain and Multi-Messenger (TDAMM) Study and the Astrophysics Cross Observatory Science Support (ACROSS) Pilot Initiative. The research focuses on investigating fundamental...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on January 31, 2019. The $199,978.13 grant is for a research project to identify and follow up on electromagnetic (EM) counterparts of gravitational wave (GW) triggers detected by the ALIGO and AVIRGO observatories. The project aims to improve EM follow-up of GW events, building on lessons learned from the first neutron star-neutron star merger detection (GW 170817) and collaboration with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor. The award does not have a set-aside designation and the period of performance is through January 30, 2021. As a public research university, Penn State is a frequent recipient of prime contracts, subcontracts, and grants from federal agencies like NASA to conduct scientific research and development.
