This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $169,693 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct collaborative research on the cosmic microwave background and the epoch of reionization. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:
-
Duplicating an existing receiver to perform a survey of the carbon monoxide (CO) line across the sky, which will then be cross-correlated with 21 cm cosmology data to provide constraints on the CO-HI power spectrum and enable the first unambiguous confirmation of the 21 cm signal from the epoch of reionization.
-
Collaborating with the Caltech Education Office to develop educational materials on coding and astronomy, and providing training and classroom support to teachers in underserved high schools.
The award period is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2028 and does not include any planned subawards.
