Project Grant 2103778

The University of Illinois was awarded a $264,014 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program. The grant will support a collaborative research effort to develop a shared data and computing infrastructure to enable discovery within next generation dark matter and computational astrophysics experiments. Over a three year period from August 2021 through July 2024, the University of Illinois will leverage this funding to deliver data integration and analysis services that facilitate multi-experiment investigations into dark matter and computational astrophysics. The infrastructure established under this award seeks to accelerate scientific progress by providing researchers enhanced access to integrated data and computing resources across related experiments in these fields.
