About this award
Northwestern University has been awarded a $433,552 research grant under contract 22-XRP22_2-0086 to conduct research on "Dynamical Signatures of Planet Formation in Wide-Separation Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs." The award, made on January 1, 2023, with a completion date of December 31, 2026, supports fundamental astrophysical research performed at the university's Evanston, Illinois campus. This non-set-aside grant was awarded through the civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, reflecting Northwestern University's established capacity as a leading research institution with extensive experience conducting federally-funded scientific investigations across multiple disciplines.
The research initiative addresses key questions in exoplanet science and brown dwarf formation dynamics, contributing to the broader national effort to understand planetary system development and the diversity of objects orbiting distant stars. Northwestern University's Sponsored Research Division, as the parent entity, brings substantial experience managing complex, long-term research programs, including major federal partnerships such as its $55.5 million indefinite delivery contract with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. This award continues the university's demonstrated track record of delivering high-quality research services to federal agencies and advancing scientific knowledge in specialized scientific domains.
