About this award
Carnegie Mellon University was awarded a $686,711 research grant (22-LPS22-0025) for a project titled "Studying LISA Sources Using DESI and LIGO/Virgo/Kagra." The award, issued on December 15, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of December 14, 2026, supports research conducted through the university's Office of Sponsored Programs at its Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania campus. This grant funds fundamental astrophysics research leveraging data from multiple cutting-edge observatories: DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument), LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), Virgo, and Kagra gravitational wave detectors. The project aims to advance understanding of LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) candidate sources by integrating large-scale spectroscopic survey data with gravitational wave observations, enabling more precise characterization of potential gravitational wave sources detectable by space-based observatories. No set-aside designation was used for this competitive award.
The grant represents Carnegie Mellon's continued role as a premier research partner for the civilian federal government in advanced scientific domains. As a prestigious private research institution with extensive expertise in computational modeling, data analysis, and physics research, Carnegie Mellon demonstrates its capacity to lead interdisciplinary astrophysics investigations that combine multiple data streams to advance gravitational wave science. This award aligns with the university's substantial track record of securing federal research funding across the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, positioning the institution as a trusted contributor to transformative scientific endeavors supported by U.S. government agencies.
