The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
This $239,996 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to advance theoretical and phenomenological studies of the three-dimensional momentum and spin structure of the nucleon in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The primary objectives are to discover the internal landscape of the nucleon, provide analysis and explanation of existing data, and make predictions for future measurements at...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to Michigan State University to study the properties of quark-gluon plasma, a novel phase of matter that forms at extremely high temperatures or densities. The research, funded under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will use lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations to investigate how heavy quark bound states respond to the quark-gluon plasma medium and the behavior of the strong force at...

This Project Grant award, worth $200,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports a research project led by Dr. Zack Hall at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, under the mentorship of Dr. Andre Walker-Loud, to conduct non-perturbative calculations of quantum electrodynamic corrections to the nucleon axial coupling, which is critical for determining nuclear neutron beta decay rates. The...
This $270,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports the development of theoretical models and simulations to improve understanding of the formation and dynamical properties of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP), an extreme state of matter created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Specifically, the project aims to enhance the existing ZPC parton cascade model by...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research on the properties of quark-gluon plasma, an extremely high-temperature gas that existed in the early universe and can be briefly produced in laboratory particle collisions. The $240,000 award to the University of Virginia aims to study the theoretical foundations for probing the properties of quark-gluon plasma using measurements of energy...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) establishes the "Inter-American Network of Networks of Quantum Chromodynamics Challenges" (IANN QCD), a new international research initiative. The $300,000 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029, brings together scientists from the United States, Canada, and Latin America to collaborate on fundamental questions in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which explores how matter forms and evolves. The project aims to strengthen research partnerships across the Americas and serve as a platform for future global collaboration. It supports coordination with major research efforts, such as the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, and provides training for early-career researchers in areas like scientific computing, data analysis, and accelerator science. The initiative emphasizes participation from a wide range of networks, institutions, and communities across the Americas to foster collaboration, openness, and accessibility.
