About this award
Northeastern University was awarded a $3.43M grant by a federal civilian agency's Shared Services Center on September 1, 2023, to conduct a prototype flight for the GRAMS Project. The work will be performed in Boston, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. This grant award carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of Northeastern's substantial federal research portfolio, which spans artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, quantum technologies, and advanced engineering solutions across multiple federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and National Science Foundation.
The award is associated with a larger Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDV) vehicle—specifically the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's SENTRY (Soft Target Engineering to Neutralize the Threat Reality) project—through which Northeastern University operates as a child entity under The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This organizational structure reflects the university's integration within a broader strategic research initiative focused on advanced technological development in support of national security priorities. The timing and structure of this award align with Northeastern's demonstrated capabilities in conducting cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research with significant technological and societal impact.
