The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $311,524 project grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONSTRAINING FUZZY DARK MATTER WITH COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATIONS" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Through this funding, MIT researchers will conduct cosmological simulations to constrain the properties of fuzzy dark matter, a proposed model of dark matter with implications across astrophysics and cosmology. The results of this research have the potential to advance scientific understanding of dark matter, one of the most perplexing issues in modern astrophysics.
