About this award
The University of Illinois has been awarded a $500,284 research grant from a federal Shared Services Center to conduct a three-year study on tidal disruption events (TDEs) in the era of large astronomical surveys, with focus on distinguishing TDEs from active galactic nuclei (AGN). The award, designated 23-ADAP23-0130, was executed on August 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027, and carries no set-aside designation. The research will be conducted at the University of Illinois campus in Urbana, Illinois, leveraging the institution's established capabilities in fundamental physics research and advanced scientific analysis to support federal agency objectives in astronomical discovery and astrophysical phenomena characterization.
This grant supports cutting-edge research in high-energy astrophysics and time-domain astronomy, areas critical to understanding extreme cosmic events captured by modern large-scale survey instruments. As a major research institution with extensive federal contracting experience across scientific and engineering disciplines, the University of Illinois brings substantial expertise in collaborative research initiatives and complex analytical projects. The award reflects the university's positioning as a key federal research partner capable of executing sophisticated investigations in fundamental physics and contributing to the broader scientific understanding of transient astronomical phenomena.
