About this award
The Washington University, through its Office of Sponsored Research Services, was awarded a $1.24M grant on October 4, 2023, to conduct observations of black holes and neutron stars utilizing the Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission XL-CALIBUR. The research project, which extends through October 3, 2026, will be performed at the university's St. Louis, Missouri campus. This civilian research effort represents a continuation of Washington University's extensive portfolio of astrophysical and space science investigations supported by federal agencies, demonstrating the institution's capabilities in executing complex scientific missions requiring sophisticated instrumentation and analysis methodologies.
The award carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a research grant rather than a traditional procurement contract. Washington University's selection reflects its established expertise as a leading academic research institution with demonstrated success managing federally-funded scientific investigations across multiple domains, including space science and astrophysics. The Hard X-Ray Polarimetry Mission represents a specialized observational program that will advance understanding of extreme cosmic phenomena, contributing to broader national scientific objectives in high-energy astrophysics and fundamental physics research.
