About this award
The University of Arizona, operating under the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $9.93 million grant by a Civilian Shared Services Center to support the Catalina Sky Survey for Near-Earth Objects. The award, issued September 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027, represents a non-set-aside research grant supporting astronomical survey operations based in Tucson, Arizona. This initiative aligns with NASA's ongoing efforts to detect, track, and characterize near-Earth objects that pose potential impact hazards, contributing to planetary defense and space situational awareness objectives.
As a prominent public research institution and Hispanic Serving Institution, the University of Arizona brings substantial expertise in astrophysics and planetary science to this effort. The university has demonstrated sustained competitiveness in securing federal research funding across diverse scientific disciplines and maintains extensive partnerships with federal agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The three-year performance period positions the university to continue operating the Catalina Sky Survey, which has been instrumental in discovering thousands of near-Earth objects and contributing critical data to the scientific community's understanding of objects in near-Earth space.
