- This $462,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to analyze the chemical profiles of dwarf stars and their exoplanets. The primary objectives are to: (a) develop a public, data-driven tool to precisely derive stellar elemental abundances from spectroscopic data; (b) measure elemental abundances for high-priority exoplanet host stars; and (c) produce exoplanetary atmosphere models accounting...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to design and deliver improved measurements of the microwave continuum emission from circumstellar disks. The $427,364 award to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, will exploit synergies between centimeter continuum observations from the VLA and millimeter continuum data to better characterize...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science), provides $148,743 to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to execute a balanced science program. The award supports SAO's participation as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on scientific research of the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The funding also enables SAO to advance discovery in emerging fields...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $556,256 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Cornell University. The grant supports the development of a "Cosmic Demographics Toolkit" (CDT), which is a suite of computational tools and methods to help astronomers extract valuable insights from large astronomical survey data. The CDT project includes astrostatistics research to develop new analytical capabilities, as well as...
- The Project Grant award, provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001), funds scientific research and technological development to support NASA's space exploration initiatives. The $297,085 award, granted on April 23, 2025, will be executed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) through its Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) division. The project aims to execute a balanced science program...

(AURA) and its Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) division. The award supports AURA in executing a balanced science program based on direction from the National Academies, NASA priorities, and Congress. Key objectives include participating as a...
This Project Grant award of $140,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides partial support for the activities of the Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics (CAA) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. The CAA uses the Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Surveys to identify issues of concern and provide guidance to federal agencies on their astronomy and astrophysics research programs. The CAA brings together leading researchers and government representatives to discuss emerging research needs and opportunities, with an emphasis on accessibility and promoting public understanding of science. This award supports the CAA's role in enhancing the research and education environment by identifying cross-cutting issues and opportunities within the astronomy and astrophysics disciplines. The performance period for this award is from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
