About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Trustees of Princeton University received a $7.86M grant award from NASA's Shared Services Center on April 1, 2020, for research support related to the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission. This grant, which is not subject to any set-aside designation, will support Princeton's Office of Research and Project Administration through September 30, 2026. The award reflects the university's established role as a premier research institution capable of executing complex scientific projects for federal agencies, with work to be performed at Princeton's campus in Princeton, New Jersey.

The IBEX mission, a NASA astrophysics mission designed to explore the solar wind interaction and boundaries at the edge of the heliosphere, benefits from Princeton University's extensive expertise in space exploration research and advanced scientific instrumentation. As a non-profit research institution with a demonstrated track record of managing federal grants exceeding $2.5M across multiple scientific disciplines—including quantum computing, climate science, biomedical research, and space exploration—Princeton is well-positioned to deliver the sophisticated research capabilities required for this interstellar physics project. This grant award aligns with the university's broader portfolio of work supporting NASA, NSF, NIH, DOD, and other federal agencies in advancing cutting-edge research across diverse technological and scientific domains.
