This federal contract award, numbered NNX15AK14G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (SSC), a civilian agency, to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) for research on measuring the initial mass function (IMF) and detailed abundance patterns from the integrated light of old stellar systems. The $276,600 grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research is being led by Principal Investigator Conroy, with Co-Investigator Kurucz providing advisory support on the creation of new stellar atmosphere models and synthetic spectra. Research Associate Johnson is also developing a sophisticated data-model fitting tool to derive robust constraints on the IMF and abundance patterns. This work aligns with the agency's broader program on measuring fundamental properties of stellar populations. Harvard University, a prestigious private research institution, frequently receives federal funding for research and development activities across various disciplines. In addition to this grant, Harvard holds an Other Transaction (OT) indefinite delivery vehicle (IDV) contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for quantum information and transduction research, demonstrating the university's capabilities in emerging technological areas of strategic importance to national security.
