This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $527,050 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to establish coherent frameworks for understanding massive galaxy formation and promote inclusive astronomy. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the investigator will use data from the Large Millimeter Telescope and Subaru Telescope to map the distribution of galaxies and molecular gas throughout...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $360,589 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System, doing business as the Curators of the University of Missouri, for the "Collaborative Research: The Emergence of Dusty Starbursts in Cosmic History" project. The project aims to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of 629 candidate dusty starburst galaxies at redshifts greater than 6 using the 50-meter Large Millimeter Telescope...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $348,961 provides funding to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on the impact of dust on observations of distant galaxies across cosmic time. The research aims to improve understanding of how dust interacts with light from distant stars and impacts our view of early galaxy formation and evolution. Additionally,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $262,204 to study galaxies that recently stopped forming stars. The award aims to understand why some galaxies rapidly quench their star formation. The research team at the University of Colorado Boulder will use a wide range of telescope data to measure dust, gas, and active galactic nuclei in 50 post-starburst galaxies that quenched...
This $505,312 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on near-infrared spectroscopy of distant galaxies using a new photonic OH suppression filter technology. The University of Maryland, College Park is the primary awardee and will utilize the Lowell Discovery Telescope to conduct observations of transient events like gamma-ray bursts. The project...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $447,644 to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to study the lifecycle of galactic matter and young stars in the solar neighborhood. The project will produce three novel data products: 3D spatial models of gaseous features, models of gas flows, and a pipeline for analyzing ages and masses of nearby young stellar clusters. These will enable new understanding of...
This $539,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will support research into the unexpectedly high number of bright, rapidly star-forming galaxies observed at the cosmic dawn. The award recipient, Princeton University, will conduct simulations and analytical modeling to understand the physical conditions that could explain these observations, particularly in the context of massive dark matter halos at high redshift. The research aims...
This $460,851 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project titled "MAUNA: Multiphase Analysis of (U)LIRG Nuclear Activity". The project will analyze new observations of merging galaxies to better understand the dynamics of gas movement and the impact on galaxy evolution. The research will leverage new Keck and JWST integral-field spectroscopic observations to study the hot ionized and warm...
This National Science Foundation award provides $161,052 to the University of Massachusetts under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to develop advanced hydrodynamic galaxy simulation software to study the complex interplay between stellar winds and the circumgalactic medium surrounding massive galaxies. Researchers will incorporate a subgrid wind model into an existing...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,306 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds collaborative research to take a panchromatic view of normal galaxies in the early universe.

This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to identify optical counterparts and determine stellar masses and populations. The data collected will help fill critical gaps in understanding early cosmic star formation and metal enrichment history. The award supports a postdoc, graduate student, public outreach, and a program to train scientifically literate journalists. The project runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
