This Project Grant award, valued at $270,000 and awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, aims to improve understanding of the nature of dark matter - one of the most prominent challenges in fundamental physics. The research program led by the University of Texas at Austin will explore the microscopic properties of dark matter through cosmological and astrophysical observations. This work will provide foundational research to support future dark matter discoveries and analyses as next-generation instruments and surveys become operational. In addition to the research activities, the program includes mentoring and support for undergraduate women in physics. No subawards are planned under this grant, which has a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
