The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) received a $470,728 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) for the period of May 15, 2023 through April 30, 2026. The award funds research to elucidate the atomistic mechanisms underlying hierarchical interplay during hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron ores, which could enable more efficient and environmentally sustainable steel production...
This $325,777 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team will enhance its rapid survey capabilities to promptly identify and study new supernovae in nearby galaxies, taking advantage of a network of small telescopes. This will enable the discovery of...
This $258,736 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project to study nearby cosmic explosions, known as supernovae, from their earliest moments. The research team at Rutgers, The State University will enhance its rapid survey for the nearest and brightest supernovae, incorporating new infrastructure to identify even younger nearby supernovae. As part of this work, three...
The Research Foundation For The State University of New York was awarded a $314,560 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research linking pyroclastic surge dynamics and deposits through integrated field data collection, multiphase numerical modeling, and experiments. The three-year award beginning June 15, 2021 will support collaborative work between foundation researchers and the State University of New York at Buffalo to advance...
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF-SUNY) was awarded a $635,901 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences. The grant falls under the NSF's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), which supports investigator-initiated research and education in computing, communications, and information science and engineering. Specifically, RF-SUNY will use the three-year funding...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate (NSF MPS), under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $143,185 to support collaborative research advancing the Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS) through August 2025. SNEWS is a network between neutrino and dark matter detectors designed to provide automated prompt alerts of impending supernovae in our galaxy. The awardee, University of Rochester, will...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $291,944 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York, operating as Stony Brook University. The grant, awarded on September 1, 2024, will fund a collaborative research project focused on three key science objectives: 1) Imaging the "cosmic web" of intergalactic gas, 2) Searching for ancient stellar nova shells, and 3) Obtaining deep...
This $239,093 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund collaborative research between the University of Virginia and Michigan State University to analyze data and model stripped supernovae explosions. The researchers will study at least 185 stripped supernovae, the largest data set in the world, to quantify uncertainties in modeling these explosions and transition the...
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF) was awarded a $485,439 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support collaborative research from October 2021 through September 2025 to develop machine learning algorithms for predicting and synthesizing next generation superhard functional materials. The project aims to advance the Mathematical and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $193,864 to The Trustees of Princeton University for collaborative research to constrain supernova progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms through three-dimensional reconstruction of supernova remnants. The research team will study five nearby supernova remnants to create 3D models of the locations and velocities of exploded star material. They will deduce the composition of the stars prior...
