About this award
The University of Idaho received a $409,021 research grant award on September 1, 2022, for the project "SUPERB: Numerical Relativity for LISA & 3G Detectors," with a completion date of August 31, 2026. The award supports computational research in numerical relativity, which involves solving Einstein's equations of general relativity in full on computers. This research is relevant to gravitational wave detection initiatives, including the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors. The contract carries no set-aside designation and represents a civilian research grant, with the work to be performed in Moscow, Idaho. While the specific funding agency's name is listed as a Shared Services Center, the nature and scope of the research align with typical initiatives supported by agencies such as the National Science Foundation or NASA.
The University of Idaho, a public land-grant research institution, is well-positioned to conduct this advanced physics research, given its demonstrated track record of executing federal research grants in STEM disciplines and its collaborative capabilities across multiple scientific domains. As a comprehensive research university with established expertise in physics and computational sciences, the institution brings institutional support for graduate and undergraduate student training alongside the technical research objectives. This grant contributes to the university's broader mission of advancing scientific knowledge while supporting critical national initiatives in fundamental physics research.
