About this award

The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $3.35 million research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct high-resolution spectroscopy of far ultraviolet hydrogen emission from star-forming regions using spatial heterodyne interferometry. The contract, awarded on November 2, 2023, with performance through November 1, 2027, will be executed at the University of Arizona's Tucson, Arizona campus. This award carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a research grant under a cost-reimbursable pricing arrangement, reflecting the fundamental research nature of the project.

The research initiative focuses on advanced astronomical instrumentation and spectroscopic analysis to study hydrogen emissions in star-forming regions using innovative interferometry techniques. As a 1862 land grant institution and Hispanic Serving Institution, the University of Arizona brings substantial capabilities in astrophysics and planetary science to this scientific endeavor. The university's extensive federal research portfolio, including prior awards from NASA and the National Science Foundation across astrophysics and related disciplines, demonstrates its competitiveness and track record in securing sophisticated research funding from federal agencies for cutting-edge scientific investigations.
