- The University of Maryland, College Park's Office of Research Administration & Advancement received a $740,676 grant award from a civilian federal agency on December 4, 2024, with a completion date of December 3, 2027. The grant supports execution of a balanced science program aligned with guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and congressional direction. The university will serve as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $540,470.00 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research related to the formation and evolution of compact star clusters at high redshifts. The research aims to investigate several aspects of the underlying astrophysics, including the role of these clusters in producing seeds for supermassive black holes, the physics of their formation and growth, the impact of X-ray heating, and their influence on the...
- The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $573,948 grant for research by a civilian federal agency to support a balanced science program aligned with discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and administration priorities. The award, issued on August 4, 2025, with a completion date of August 3, 2028, supports the university's participation as a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific...
The University of Maryland, College Park received a $152,381 research grant from a civilian federal agency to support analysis and interpretation of the Experiment for Cryogenic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM), a high-altitude balloon spectrometer designed to advance understanding of star formation in a cosmological context. EXCLAIM will map sub-millimeter emissions of redshifted carbon monoxide and singly ionized carbon lines across redshift ranges from 0 to 3.5, employing intensity mapping techniques to measure brightness fluctuations of cumulative line emission rather than detecting individual galaxies. This approach aligns with priorities identified in the Enduring Quests Daring Visions Roadmap and the New Worlds, New Horizons Decadal Survey, addressing the need for comprehensive characterization of star formation precursors and baryonic matter distribution within dark matter halos. Dr. Bolatto will lead analysis and interpretation of EXCLAIM results within established astrophysical frameworks, with provisions for graduate student mentorship in instrumentation development and data analysis. The award carries no set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2025, with an award date of May 28, 2019. As a child entity of the University System of Maryland, UMD's Office of Research Administration & Advancement will execute the work at the College Park, Maryland campus. This grant represents the university's participation in a foundational mission that will serve as a pathfinder for future intensity mapping initiatives aimed at probing early star formation and cosmic reionization, contributing to broader national objectives in space science and fundamental astrophysical research.
