About this award
The University of Chicago received a $1.1M grant from NASA's Shared Services Center to develop Skipper CCDs (Charge-Coupled Devices) for robust single-photon measurements in future NASA missions. Awarded on September 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026, this research grant supports the university's work in advancing detector technology critical for space-based scientific observations. The award carries no set-aside designation and represents open competition for this specialized research initiative. Work will be performed at the university's Chicago, Illinois campus.
This grant reflects NASA's investment in detector technology development, a key enabling capability for next-generation space observatories and scientific instruments. Skipper CCDs represent an advanced detector architecture capable of achieving extremely low noise levels essential for detecting faint astronomical sources and conducting precision photometry. The University of Chicago's role as a premier research institution with extensive experience in federal research and development across scientific domains positions it well to advance this critical technology for future NASA missions in space exploration and astrophysics.
