About this award
The University of Arizona was awarded a $2.44 million grant by a civilian federal agency to provide scientific investigations and engineering support for the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) aboard the James Webb Space Telescope. Under this award, the university will continue its multifaceted contributions to MIRI operations and development, including optimizing instrument efficiency, analyzing detector performance characteristics, calibrating the instrument with tools and pipeline inputs, supporting instrument commissioning activities, and maintaining outreach initiatives. The award, made on August 17, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 16, 2027, represents the continuation of work the university has performed since its initial selection for guaranteed time observations on JWST, and carries no set-aside designation.
The University of Arizona will execute this work through its established team of scientists based in Tucson, Arizona, coordinating with personnel from the European Consortium, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the Space Telescope Science Institute. The university's team includes five active members currently supporting commissioning activities at STScI and conducting analyses from Arizona, with particular emphasis on detector characterization, absolute calibration refinement, and commissioning support through the achievement of full science operations. Additionally, the award will fund analysis and publication of results from the university's guaranteed time observations, ensuring continued advancement of JWST's scientific capabilities through this critical infrastructure investment.
