The National Science Foundation awarded a $39,957 research grant to George Washington University for X-ray and ultraviolet monitoring of two low luminosity active galactic nuclei under solicitation 23-SWIFT23-0020. The grant, with an ultimate completion date of January 2, 2027, supports fundamental astronomical research aligned with NSF's broader science program priorities, which emphasize advancing discovery through disciplinary research and cross-disciplinary opportunities. The work is being performed in Washington, D.C., and no set-aside designation was applied to this award.

George Washington University, a private nonprofit research institution, continues to demonstrate substantial capabilities in federal research funding across multiple scientific domains. The university's extensive federal portfolio includes significant grants from NSF, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Energy in areas ranging from medical technologies to climate science and artificial intelligence. This award contributes to the university's ongoing commitment to supporting critical federal research initiatives and complements its broader research infrastructure and multi-institutional collaborative networks.

Execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the national academies of sciences, engineering, and medicine, administration priorities, and direction from congress. Participate as a key partner and enabler in the agency s exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of, on, and from the moon, lunar orbit, mars, and beyond. Advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science disciplines develop a directorate-wide, target-user focused approach to applied programs, including earth science applications, space weather, planetary defense, and space situational awareness.
