This Project Grant award of $314,231 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to explore the formation of multi-star systems, including our own solar system. The University of Texas at Austin will conduct computer modeling and analysis to study the physics behind why some star-forming regions produce single stars while others form multiple gravitationally bound stars. The goal is to better understand the role of initial gas...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Award, CFDA 47.049, provides $594,458 to the West Virginia University Research Corporation to implement the NANOGRAV STUDENT TEAMS OF ASTROPHYSICS RESEARCHERS UNDERGRADUATE PATHWAYS (STARS-UP) program. The program will create research partnerships between five two-year community and technical colleges and four four-year colleges, including West Virginia University, to increase diversity and retention in...

The City of Kadoka was awarded a $115,822 Project Grant from the National Park Service's Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning (CFDA 15.916) program to replace their aging outdoor basketball court. The project involves site preparation, landscaping, removing the existing court, and installing a new basketball court, hoops, benches, and fencing. This funding will support the replacement of a basketball court originally constructed with Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)...

This three-year, $106,400 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will support the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey (ACES) to map gas flows and star formation across the entire central region of the Milky Way galaxy. Led by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, ACES will utilize the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to conduct the first comprehensive measurement of mass flows in a galactic nucleus. Products will include a...
