About this award
Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a Washington, DC-based nonprofit research organization, received a $21,650.59 research grant from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, for astrophysical research focused on dust evolution in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). The award, granted on March 4, 2022, with completion scheduled for September 17, 2025, supports USRA's investigative work on these satellite galaxies as astrophysical laboratories for understanding the lifecycle of dust. The contract is structured as a non-set-aside grant and will be performed at USRA's Columbia, Maryland facility.
This award represents targeted funding within USRA's broader portfolio of NASA-supported scientific research grants, which have historically concentrated on planetary science, exoplanet detection, and space environment studies through the Science Mission Directorate. As a premier federal research contractor and grantee, USRA leverages its extensive collaborative network with academic institutions and government agencies to execute complex scientific investigations. The relatively modest award ceiling reflects the specialized, focused nature of this particular dust evolution research initiative within the broader context of USRA's $50 million General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract through June 2030, which enables the organization to provide comprehensive research, program management, and technical services across multiple federal agencies.
Description
My research has focused on the large and small magellanic clouds (LMC and SMC) with the over-arching goal to understand dust evolution in these two galaxies. The LMC and SMC are excellent astrophysical laboratories to study the lifecycle of dust.
