The funding will enable investigation of major problems in these fields...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $282,499 project grant to the University of Connecticut's Office of Sponsored Programs under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2021 and concluding on May 31, 2024, will support research into cluster algebras, combinatorics, and knot theory. Most project grants under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program promote progress in these fields to strengthen the nation's...
This Project Grant award, totaling $310,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of this 3-year project, which runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, is to advance the understanding of the nonperturbative properties of hadrons (protons and neutrons) within the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The theoretical research supported by this grant focuses on investigating...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $685,000 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2026. The grant funds research towards developing synthetic strategies for modular lanthanide and base-metal complexes that exhibit strong circularly polarized luminescence. As the awardee institution, the University of Connecticut will oversee delivery of the research products and services...
This $299,997 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports fundamental research on the structure of nucleons (protons and neutrons) at Stony Brook University. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Computations of nucleon electromagnetic form factors over a wide range of high momentum to enable comparison with recent experimental data from the Jefferson Lab. This work...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $350,358 to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to investigate geometric boundary value problems in general relativity. The research aims to advance understanding of the universe's structure by revealing connections between geometric PDEs and properties of the Laplace equation. Specifically, the project will address long-standing conjectures related to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $388,858 Project Grant to the University of Connecticut under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support the research project "Uncovering the Seeds of Star Clusters Across the Galaxy" from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. This funding will allow researchers at the University of Connecticut to advance understanding of star formation through studying star clusters across different galaxies. As the official state...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded to the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $135,000 in funding from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026 for research activities led by Professor Sophia Domokos. The research aims to use the phenomenon of holographic duality to better understand and categorize structures formed by the strong interactions between elementary particles, such as protons and...
