This National Science Foundation (NSF) grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $270,796 to the University of Massachusetts to conduct a comprehensive survey of a large sample of candidate dusty starburst galaxies in the early universe. The main objectives are to determine accurate redshifts and positions, and define a statistically significant sample of galaxies at z > 6. This will involve deep optical and near-infrared follow-up observations to...
This $522,357 National Science Foundation project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the University of California, Merced to simulate the life cycle of star clusters from birth to death within a cosmological galactic context from September 2021 through August 2024. Key products include data analysis and publications on identifying and characterizing spiral arms in galaxies. A $25,000 subaward to Bryn Mawr College supports coordination...
This $153,169 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project at Saint Martins University that aims to study the disintegration of globular clusters and their contribution to the metal-poor bulge of the Milky Way galaxy. The research team, comprising investigators from four primarily undergraduate institutions, will obtain detailed observations of 3,000 stars to measure their...
This federal Project Grant award of $190,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a postdoctoral research fellowship for Amanda Burcroff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the mentorship of Alexander Postnikov. The project is titled "Combinatorial Interpretations of Cluster Coefficients and Scattering Diagrams" and aims to advance fundamental research in the mathematical sciences, including...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $105,646, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support a collaborative research project led by Seattle University. The research aims to confirm the origins of stars in the Milky Way's metal-poor bulge by spectroscopically measuring the elemental abundances of candidate globular cluster tidal debris stars. The project will involve obtaining detailed observations of...
This five-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $527,050 to the University of Massachusetts Amherst to establish coherent frameworks for understanding massive galaxy formation and promote inclusive astronomy. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the investigator will use data from the Large Millimeter Telescope and Subaru Telescope to map the distribution of galaxies and molecular gas throughout...
This $190,000 Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The funding supports a 4-year Postdoctoral Fellowship for Samuel Johnston at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, under the mentorship of Davesh Maulik. The fellowship project is titled "Logarithmic Enumerative Geometry and Mirror Symmetry" and aims to advance research at the intersection of mathematical fields. No sub-awards...
This three-year, $357,003 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support continued investigations of nearby dwarf galaxies as well as expanded studies of dwarf galaxies in galaxy groups within a radius of five million parsecs. Key deliverables include mapping dark matter halos within Milky Way satellites via multi-epoch spectroscopy; analyzing detailed chemical abundance patterns at low metallicities characteristic of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $262,204 to study galaxies that recently stopped forming stars. The award aims to understand why some galaxies rapidly quench their star formation. The research team at the University of Colorado Boulder will use a wide range of telescope data to measure dust, gas, and active galactic nuclei in 50 post-starburst galaxies that quenched...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $330,000 Postdoctoral Fellowship under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Danielle Frostig at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This 3-year project will fund Frostig's research program to conduct near-infrared surveys of potential sites of heavy element formation via r-process synthesis, including neutron star mergers, gamma-ray burst afterglows, and exotic supernovae. The project will also support...

This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a postdoctoral fellowship for Samantha Berek at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The $110,000 award will enable Berek to build the most comprehensive catalog to date of globular clusters in nearby low-mass galaxies. This research aims to provide essential clues into early star formation processes in the universe by better understanding globular cluster formation. Berek will also lead an undergraduate research, mentoring, and tutoring program at the University of Massachusetts. The award period is from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2028. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
