About this award
Arizona State University was awarded a $504,576 research grant by a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of February 23, 2027. The contract, awarded on February 24, 2021, supports scientific research related to galaxy formation and evolution, specifically examining how galaxies accrete cold gas from the circumgalactic medium to fuel star formation. This research initiative will be performed at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus under the administration of the university's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa). The award carries no set-aside designation and reflects ASU's competitive positioning in the federal research marketplace.
As a leading Hispanic-serving research institution and major federal contractor, Arizona State University brings substantial expertise in space science, astrophysics, and advanced computational methods to this research effort. The university, governed by the Arizona Board of Regents, maintains an extensive track record executing complex research and development projects for federal agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense. This particular grant aligns with NASA's Science Mission Directorate priorities in astrophysics and represents one of numerous federal research awards ASU has secured across multiple scientific domains, positioning the institution as a capable partner for advancing fundamental scientific knowledge in support of national research objectives.
Description
Galaxies need a continuous supply of cold gas to fuel star formation. In our current theory of galaxy formation and evolution, galaxies accrete gas from the warm circumgalactic medium (CGM), which then settles into the HI disk, migrates radially inwards, and forms STARS. The young STARS, in turn, go
