The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Washington $400,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for a project grant supporting fundamental physics research through gravitational experiments. The University of Washington's E(T)-WASH Group (Eöt-Wash Laboratory) will conduct precision tests of gravitational theory to search for deviations from general relativity and probe physics beyond the Standard Model. Specific work includes testing the equivalence principle and investigating phenomena such as dark matter and dark energy that fall outside the scope of current gravitational theory. The research employs tabletop experiments designed to detect ultra-weak forces and has potential applications in inertial navigation, industrial metrology, earthquake prediction, and STEM workforce development. Performance occurs in Seattle, Washington, with the University of Washington's Office of Sponsored Programs administering the award. The period of performance runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2028.
