This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University for a research project focused on developing techniques to detect and analyze gravitational wave signals from space-based observatories. The grant, valued at $246,805.00, aims to address key challenges in space gravitational wave astronomy, including the detection of unmodeled and unexpected signals, the production of improved waveform models for spinning black hole binaries, the identification of potential departures from Einstein's theory of gravity, and the exploration of astrophysical and modified gravity model constraints. The research conducted under this grant is expected to contribute to the scientific understanding of the low-frequency portion of the gravitational wave spectrum, which cannot be accessed from ground-based observatories. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
