About this award
The University of Toledo received a $305,629.58 research grant from a civilian federal agency (operating under a Shared Services Center) to conduct a comprehensive study of protostellar variability using archival data from multiple space-based observatories, including the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), Herschel, Spitzer, Sofia, and NeoWISE. The grant, awarded on January 1, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, supports scientific research examining the variability characteristics of protostars—young, newly formed stars—by leveraging existing observational datasets from these advanced infrared and far-infrared instruments. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
As a public research university with substantial experience managing federal contracts and grants across multiple scientific domains, the University of Toledo is well-positioned to execute this astronomical research initiative. The institution has established expertise in conducting sophisticated research and development projects for agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. This protostellar variability project contributes to the university's broader research portfolio in astronomy and astrophysics, advancing scientific understanding of stellar formation processes through analysis of archival observational data.
