This $299,997 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure under the CFDA 47.070 Computer and Information Science and Engineering program supports the development of free and open-source software and a web interface for extracting high-precision brightness measurements of stars from citizen scientist observations collected with color digital cameras. The project aims to greatly expand the pool of citizen scientists able to contribute to...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) provides $285,627 to fund the continued operation of the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) experiment at the South Pole. ARA is a neutrino astrophysics observatory designed to detect ultra-high energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources. The grant supports ongoing operations and data collection for the five-station ARA detector, as well as development of...

This $441,114 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences supports the "Active Asteroids Citizen Science Project". The project will use a team of over 8,500 citizen science volunteers to classify nearly 500,000 archival images of asteroids and other small solar system bodies. This data will be used to discover new active asteroids, which are crucial for understanding the distribution of volatiles like water in the solar system. The...

This $315,225 project grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from November 1, 2023 to October 31, 2026. The grant supports a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and SRI to develop a new data infrastructure for sharing and archiving heterogeneously-derived data products from the Swarm-Over-Poker...

This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance (CFDA 16.045 Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative) provides $1,999,702 to the City of Aurora, CO to support the AURORA (STANDING AGAINST VIOLENCE EVERY DAY) SAVE violence reduction strategy. The funding will support two contract positions (crime analyst and administrative support), victim services, content creation, and street outreach/violence interruption services provided...

This Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) provides $310,790 to the University of Colorado for a one-year period starting April 28, 2025. The award supports the university's execution of a balanced science program aligned with NASA's exploration initiatives and priorities. Key objectives include advancing scientific discovery through cross-disciplinary opportunities, developing applied programs in...

This $430,427 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will support a collaborative research project involving Dartmouth College, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and SRI International. The project, titled "CEDAR: Swarm Over Poker 2023 - An Auroral System-Science Campaign Exemplar of Archiving and Sharing Heterogeneously-Derived Data Products", will explore and develop a new data infrastructure through the...

This $228,262 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) will investigate the electrodynamic properties of meso-scale auroral forms to improve understanding of multi-scale ionospheric electrodynamics. The research aims to discover new morphologies of auroral forms using advanced computer vision techniques, characterize their electrodynamic features, and analyze their occurrence patterns during geomagnetic activity. The...
