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 insights on structure formation processes. The $149,990.47 grant is for a mission concept study led by a steering committee of scientists experienced with previous CMB space missions and experiments. This research supports the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) space science and exploration programs, and is not associated with a set-aside contract.
