About this award

The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) was awarded a $134,914.49 research grant by a Civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) on September 1, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. This research initiative focuses on advancing space technology through extending the KIDS (likely referencing an astronomical instrument) wavelength coverage to the mid-infrared spectrum for current and future NASA observatories. The project aims to generate new scientific data that will enhance understanding of galaxy evolution, representing a collaborative effort to extend observational capabilities across the electromagnetic spectrum. The work will be performed in Boulder, Colorado, and no set-aside designation was used for this award.

This grant supports fundamental research in astronomical instrumentation and space sciences, areas in which CU has established significant expertise through its portfolio of federal contract and grant awards. The university's selection for this research initiative reflects its recognized capabilities in space sciences and instrumentation development, aligning with NASA's broader objectives in advancing observational astronomy and scientific discovery. As a prominent public research institution with extensive experience collaborating on federal space science projects, CU is positioned to successfully develop the technical enhancements required to extend mid-infrared observations and contribute valuable scientific data to the astronomical research community.
