- This is a $793,848 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to fund research into detecting the imprint of gravitational waves on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through precision measurements of CMB polarization. This highly ambitious endeavor aims to reveal information about the early universe and the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang. The grant does not have a set-aside designation,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $163,350.00 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for research related to the origin, structure, and evolution of a particular material. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is scheduled to be completed by April 26, 2025. UCSD, a public research university, will be the prime contractor on this effort. The State of California Controller's Office, a U.S. state government entity, is the parent...
- This is a $70,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The grant is focused on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advancing discovery in emerging fields through...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $309,450.00 grant for research to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. This new grant will fund a joint analysis of data from the Planck mission and the Dark Energy Survey, using an approximate Bayesian framework to properly account for correlations and shared systematic errors between the two datasets. The research effort will also integrate cosmic microwave background simulation software...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $531,823.42 grant to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to develop new theoretical and numerical modeling methods for extracting cosmological information from large-scale structure surveys, such as Euclid and WFIRST. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The goal is to create improved techniques for analyzing data from space-based and ground-based surveys to better understand the origins of...
- This is a $352,709 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to utilize upcoming polarization data from the Planck spacecraft to reconstruct the earliest observable epochs of cosmic inflation in a model-independent fashion. The research aims to improve our understanding of the dynamics at the beginning of the observable universe through advanced techniques that go beyond standard approximations. This grant supports NASA's investment in...
- This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for research related to nonthermal processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) and intracluster medium (ICM). The $404,704 grant will fund UCSB's work to study the role of cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and turbulence in physical processes in these multiphase plasmas. Key areas of research include cosmic ray heating, re-acceleration of cosmic ray electrons, Lyman-alpha scattering in turbulent media, and...
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) was awarded a $672,938.23 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research related to the unexpected rise in the positron fraction of the cosmic ray leptonic energy spectrum, as observed by the AMS-02 spectrometer. The research aims to understand the nature of this positron excess, including a striking disagreement between theory and data in the 100-300 GeV energy range. UCSD will study the acceleration of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $218,000.00 grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research for the Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) reflight project. This grant, with a completion date of February 15, 2023, is a research contract and does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD, a public research university, will serve as the prime contractor for this work. As a highly capable research institution, UCSD has a extensive...
