The Trustees of Princeton University were awarded a $596,466 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete the project by July 31, 2024. The grant supports the Atacama Cosmology Telescope project to search for signatures of cosmic inflation and test the Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological model through observations of the cosmic microwave background. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) which aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of major problems through support of mathematical and physical sciences research and related activities. Princeton University will use the funding to conduct research using the Atacama Cosmology Telescope facility located in Chile over the three year grant period to further understanding of the early universe and evolution of structure formation.
