About this award

This is a $90,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for research on a "POLARIZED BEAM FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE" project. The award is not set-aside and has a period of performance ending on January 5, 2027. Stanford University is a prestigious private research institution that frequently competes for and is awarded federal research grants and contracts across a wide range of scientific and technological domains, including aerospace, medical research, artificial intelligence, and national defense. This particular grant likely aligns with NASA's broader research objectives, though the specific details of the project are not provided. The award may be associated with a larger indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) that Stanford holds with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the "Changing Hydrodynamics and Aerodynamics on Structures (CHAOS)" program, though the connection is not conclusive based on the information given.
