About this award
The University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) has been awarded a $38,500 research grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to support research on the late-time outburst decay of the radio-loud magnetar XTE J1810-197. This grant-type contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, will be performed at UMBC's Baltimore, Maryland campus and is scheduled for completion by May 27, 2026. The research focuses on astrophysical phenomena related to magnetars, which are neutron stars with extremely powerful magnetic fields, and aligns with UMBC's established strengths in astrophysics research and its history of collaborating with federal agencies on space science initiatives.
This award reflects UMBC's demonstrated capabilities in executing specialized astrophysics research as part of its broader portfolio of federal research contracts and grants. The university has established itself as a key research partner for federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation, with a track record of conducting cutting-edge research across multiple scientific domains. The relatively modest ceiling value of this award is consistent with targeted research grants focused on specific scientific investigations, and the research outcomes will likely contribute to the broader understanding of neutron star physics and magnetar behavior within the astrophysics community.
