About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $59,462.18 research grant to The Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri to support a project titled "Hunting for Black Holes with TESS." The grant was awarded on December 6, 2023, with a completion date of December 5, 2024, and will be executed through the university's Office of Sponsored Research Services Division. This award represents part of NASA's ongoing commitment to advancing astronomical research and discovery through ground-based scientific investigations that complement space-based observatories such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).
The contract carries no set-aside designation and reflects Washington University's established track record as a leading academic research institution in executing complex federal research projects across multiple scientific domains. As a tax-exempt research entity registered in SAM.gov since 2001, the university brings significant expertise in astrophysics and computational sciences to this investigation. The relatively modest ceiling value is consistent with targeted, time-limited research initiatives, and the one-year performance period indicates a focused scientific investigation that will advance understanding of black hole detection and characterization using TESS survey data.
