This $112,115 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). The goal is to provide a precise and accurate determination of the Hubble constant, which is a critical cosmological parameter, by leveraging stellar kinematics of...
This $295,591 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund research at The Pennsylvania State University to develop two new methods for measuring precise extragalactic distances using integral field spectroscopy. The goal is to help address the current "Hubble tension" discrepancy between the expansion rate of the universe measured locally versus inferred from early universe physics. The Penn State team will analyze existing and new...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, with CFDA number 47.049, will provide $788,071 to the University of Hawaii (UH) for the "Cosmology in the Local Volume with Hawaii Supernova Flows" research project. The primary goals of this 3-year project are to significantly expand the Hawaii Supernova Flows Survey by using over 3,000 new Type Ia supernovae to map the largest structures in the universe out to 300...
This $286,400 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research to significantly increase the sample size of known gravitational lenses.

Specifically, the research aims...
This $395,272 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to significantly increase the sample size of known gravitational lenses and improve constraints on dark matter properties. Specifically, the University of California, Los Angeles will collaborate with other institutions to discover quadruple the current number of strong gravitational lenses, enhancing understanding of dark matter's nature. The research...
This $717,600 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research to better understand the nature of dark energy and the expansion of the universe. The principal investigator will use the Young Supernova Experiment to measure a uniform sample of Type Ia supernovae in the nearby universe and develop novel methods for determining cosmological parameters. They will also identify Type Ia supernovae in distant...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award provides $251,928 to the University of Chicago to conduct collaborative research on combining galaxy and cosmic microwave background surveys to obtain precise and robust constraints on cosmology - the distribution of matter throughout the universe. The research team will analyze complementary measurements of galaxy positions, gravitational lensing of galaxies, gravitational lensing...
