The National Science Foundation awarded a $1.15 million Project Grant to the University of Texas at Dallas under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a frequency-agile multistatic radio system for geospace imaging near the Jicamarca Radio Observatory in Peru from September 2022 to August 2027. The project aims to advance research in areas such as mesosphere and lower thermosphere dynamics, meteor science, and ionospheric irregularities through new multistatic radar experiments and...
This $197,498 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will establish a distributed network of meteor radars and optical instruments in the mid-latitudes of South America. The goal is to provide continuous measurements of upper atmospheric winds and nighttime wave perturbations in the mesosphere and thermosphere. This network will enable multi-point observations to resolve detailed 4-dimensional structures of small-scale waves, which are...
This $118,374 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project between the State University of New York at Stony Brook and the American Museum of Natural History. The project will fund continued operations of the Condor Array Telescope, an astronomical observatory located in southwest New Mexico that combines six refracting telescopes and cameras to conduct high-sensitivity,...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a two-year, $250,715 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the expansion of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos, which can provide unique insights into the most powerful cosmic ray accelerators and explosive events in the universe. Specifically, the funding will be used to improve drill...
This $174,257 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to measure daily ionospheric variability and solar eclipse impacts using amateur radio HF Doppler shift receivers. Led by the University of Scranton, the project will deploy thirty GRAPE receivers across North America to study ionospheric responses to dawn, dusk, and solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024. The receivers will generate observations to answer scientific...
The University of Chicago received a $112,290 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on March 15, 2021 to support time-critical enhancements for the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland through February 28, 2022. Funded through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), this award aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge of major challenges. Specifically, the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,346,976 provides funding from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports Cornell University to develop 350 GHz instrumentation to characterize galactic dust polarization using the upcoming CCAT-Prime telescope. Professor McMahon's team at Cornell will oversee anti-reflection coating and lens shaping for the 350 GHz instrumentation. The University of Chicago...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...
