About this award
The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) has been awarded a $670.7K research grant (23-ATP23-0067) by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to support research on the origin of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and their globular clusters. The grant, which commenced on April 10, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of April 9, 2027, reflects the federal government's continued investment in advanced astrophysical research. AMNH, a preeminent scientific institution headquartered in New York City, is well-positioned to execute this research initiative given its extensive track record in astronomical sciences, substantial collection of scientific specimens and artifacts, and collaborative relationships with leading research universities and federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
This award is not designated as a set-aside contract, consistent with AMNH's status as a large, non-profit research organization capable of competing for federal funding across multiple scientific domains. The research will be conducted at AMNH's facilities in New York, NY. This grant aligns with the museum's demonstrated expertise in astrophysics and its commitment to advancing scientific knowledge through rigorous research methodologies and interdisciplinary collaboration, contributing to broader understanding of galaxy formation and evolution in the early universe.
