- This is a $750,000.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to conduct research related to the extreme gravity universe. The research focus areas are: (I) improving tools to extract astrophysical data from NASA's Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) X-ray data, (II) creating a framework to test general relativity using NICER X-ray data and data from the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $600,000 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to support research related to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. LISA will build upon discoveries made by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and Virgo Collaboration, which recently detected gravitational waves from black hole mergers. Under this award, Johns Hopkins will conduct research to further the scientific goals of observing massive...
- The U.S. government has awarded a $94,007.21 Cooperative Agreement to the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a non-profit subsidiary of West Virginia University, to conduct "Transient Universe Focused Studies" related to recent discoveries in radio astronomy, specifically Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) - a highly enigmatic phenomenon. This effort falls under the purview of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside designation. West...
- This is a $421,100.06 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, for a research project titled "What are the properties of accretion flows in vicinity of coalescing massive black hole binaries (MBHBs)?"

- This federal contract award to the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a subsidiary of West Virginia University, is focused on advancing the scientific understanding of magnetic reconnection at the Earth's dayside magnetopause. The $450,002 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will support research to develop scaling laws for asymmetric reconnection with diamagnetic drifts and flow shear, as well as investigate the 3D properties and observational...
This federal contract award provides $95,846.66 in funding to the West Virginia University Research Corporation, a subsidiary of West Virginia University, to collaborate with researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on developing a software framework for modeling the interactions between gravitational waves, plasma flows, and electromagnetic radiation around merging massive binary black holes. This work supports the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, a joint effort between ESA and NASA to detect gravitational waves from these types of black hole mergers, which may produce detectable electromagnetic counterparts. The goal is to produce the first self-consistent theoretical predictions of the combined gravitational wave and electromagnetic signatures from these events, which could yield new insights into black hole formation and their environmental impacts. The contract has no set-aside designation and runs through February 2021.
