External Funding and Collaborating Partners Figure 23 shows funding per year since the inception of the Rochester Imaging Detector Laboratory in 2006, and continuing through the period after the Center for Detectors (CfD) was established. A breakdown of current individual grants and contracts is given in the following pages. In the past year, the CfD won ~$2M in external grant research funding, primarily through NSF. Figure . Since its inception in 2006, the CfD has been awarded over $16M in research funding. The largest contributions are from the Moore Foundation and NASA. The Moore Foundation has awarded $3M to support the development of a zero noise detector, while NASA awarded over $7M in research grants. Early this year, NSF awarded nearly $2M for the further development and testing of infrared detectors grown on silicon wafers.
