About this award
The University of Hawaii at Manoa received a $414,842 research grant from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. The grant supports astronomical research focused on determining the redshifts and properties of far-infrared and submillimeter/millimeter-selected galaxies. The research addresses a critical gap in understanding cosmic star formation history, as more than half of all star formation in the universe is obscured by dust and can only be observed through far-infrared and submm/mm wavelengths. Many of the most luminous star-forming galaxies are missed in traditional ultraviolet-selected surveys, making this spectroscopic and characterization work essential for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of galactic evolution. No set-aside designation was applied to this award.
As a child contract under the University of Hawaii Systems parent organization, this award reflects the university's established role as a critical federal research partner with specialized expertise in astronomy and planetary science. The University of Hawaii at Manoa has demonstrated significant capability in this domain, including management of NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility through a $85.5 million indefinite delivery contract extending through 2033. The institution's broad research infrastructure and track record of delivering astronomical research and technical services across multiple federal agencies position it well to execute this far-infrared galaxy characterization study.
Description
More than half of the star formation in the universe is obscured by dust and can only be directly probed using far-infrared and submm/MM observations. Many of the most luminous star-forming galaxies are completely missed in rest-frame UV-selected SA
