The University of California Santa Cruz received a $606,396 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund the "Collaborative Research: The Merian Survey," which aims to characterize dark matter and feedback in star forming dwarf galaxies through June 2024. As part of the NSF's mission to promote progress in the mathematical and physical sciences and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise, this award will increase understanding of major problems in astronomy by supporting research using the Merian Survey to analyze dark matter distribution and stellar feedback effects in dwarf galaxies.
