The $444,665.00 grant is for a period of performance ending on May 31, 2024. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $670,152.05 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research related to understanding the origin of primordial density fluctuations in the early universe and the detection of primordial gravitational waves through cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments. The research aims to provide insights into the physics underlying the properties of polarized dust emission observed by the Planck satellite...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan for the development of a self-calibrating magneto-inductive sensor for use in space-based satellite constellations. The contract has a period of performance from February 27, 2024 to February 26, 2027 and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Michigan, a prominent U.S. state government-owned educational institution located in Ann Arbor,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $217,332.00 grant to the University of Chicago for research and development of optical and optical coupling technologies for future satellite-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) missions. The research aims to develop anti-reflection coatings, filters, and feedhorns that will enable high-frequency, high-performance CMB measurements from 30-400 GHz to separate cosmological signals from foregrounds. The technologies being...
- This federal contract award is a grant to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, a non-profit organization and 1862 land grant college, to study a probe-scale mission to extract information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The study will examine the potential to search for signatures of primordial gravitational waves, constrain the number of light particle species, measure the sum of neutrino masses, probe dark matter, and provide...
- This is a $89,911 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on the use of high luminosity quasars as laboratories to test the understanding of X-ray coronae in active galactic nuclei. The research will involve joint observations using the XMM-Newton and NuSTAR space telescopes. The contract has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2022. The University of Michigan has a history of receiving...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded contract NNX16AM61H, a $282,864.10 training grant, to the Regents of the University of Michigan to develop high-precision photometric calibration technology for producing foreground-cleaned cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization maps. The goal is to enable the detection of primordial gravitational waves, which would provide evidence for quantum gravity and determine the energy scale of inflation. The work aligns with NASA's Science Instruments, Observatories, and Sensor Systems and Materials, Structures, Mechanical Systems, and Manufacturing technology roadmaps, as well as the agency's Physics of the Cosmos and Cosmic Origins programs. This contract does not have a set-aside designation.
