About this award
The Trustees of Tufts College was awarded a $160,000 research grant for the Augmented-Program for Levitation Utilization in Space (A-PLUS) by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The grant, awarded on March 7, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2025, will be performed at Tufts' location in Somerville, Massachusetts. This award represents a non-competitive grant mechanism for scientific research rather than a traditional federal contract.
As a major research university, Tufts brings substantial expertise to this initiative, with demonstrated capability across multiple scientific and engineering domains. The A-PLUS program aligns with the institution's extensive portfolio of space science research, including prior work with NASA on planetary science studies valued at over $800,000. No set-aside designation was used for this award, reflecting its character as a research grant to support innovation in levitation technologies and their potential applications in space environments.
