About this award
The Trustees of Tufts College has been awarded a $67,220.29 research grant to develop an accurate empirical mass-radius-composition-temperature relationship for M-dwarfs, with a completion deadline of December 20, 2024. The work will be performed in Somerville, Massachusetts. This grant represents a civilian research award with no set-aside designation, supporting fundamental astrophysical research that advances understanding of red dwarf stellar properties—critical data for exoplanet characterization and stellar evolution studies. The award reflects the continuation of Tufts University's robust engagement with federal research agencies in advancing scientific knowledge across multiple disciplines.
Tufts University brings substantial research capabilities to this project as a leading private research institution with a distinguished track record of federal awards from agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, NASA, and the Department of Energy. The university has demonstrated expertise in competitive research across engineering, biological sciences, computer science, and physical sciences. This M-dwarf characterization project aligns with broader national priorities in astronomy and space science, contributing empirical data essential for stellar and exoplanetary research initiatives supported by the federal government's civilian research enterprise.
