About this award
The Smithsonian Institution, through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was awarded a $48K research grant (23-FERMI23-0018) on November 7, 2024, to investigate the large-scale environment of gamma-ray BL Lacertae objects with the objective of developing new methodologies to obtain redshift measurements. This non-competitive research grant, funded by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, represents continued support for SAO's astrophysical research capabilities and will extend through November 6, 2026. The award carries no set-aside designation, reflecting SAO's competitive positioning in federal research funding.
As a trust instrumentality of the U.S. government, SAO brings substantial expertise in advanced astronomical research and instrumentation development to this initiative. The research focus on gamma-ray active galactic nuclei aligns with SAO's established scientific portfolio in astrophysics and complements ongoing federal investments in space science through agencies such as NASA and the National Science Foundation. This grant supports SAO's broader mission of expanding fundamental knowledge about the universe through cutting-edge observational research and technical innovation.
