This $508,212 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the creation of an ambitious simulation suite that will uniformly cover an unprecedented range of dark matter and gravity models. The goal is to enable detailed comparisons between these simulations and observational survey data, potentially ruling out certain models of dark matter and gravity. The simulations will be publicly available to enable community projects. The award also provides mentoring support for a postdoctoral researcher and graduate student, as well as the development of novel educational tools like 3D printing to teach cosmology to a wide range of learners. The research and educational activities will be conducted by the University of Maryland, College Park.
