- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research to investigate dark matter, the largest and most mysterious component of galaxies. The $313,105 award, spanning September 2025 to August 2028, will fund a team of researchers from the University of North Carolina, University of Pennsylvania, and Northwestern University to conduct advanced computer simulations of galaxy formation and stellar...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, awarded a $285,207 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on constraining dark matter properties using globular clusters and stellar streams. The project aims to develop a self-consistent model of globular cluster formation and evolution in a cosmologically evolving galaxy and use it to predict the properties of globular...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $270,000 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). This 3-year award, effective August 1, 2023, will fund Professor Adrienne Erickcek's research activities to investigate how the smallest dark matter structures can provide insights into the composition and origins of dark matter. The project aims to extend the scope and improve the accuracy of methods...
- This Project Grant award of $552,880.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a research project at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor that aims to shed light on the nature of dark matter. The project will run computational simulations to understand how the underlying dark matter distribution affects the observed properties of globular cluster streams - long, thin trails of stars pulled from dense star clusters as...
- This $215,917 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049), will fund research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to model the evolution of dense star clusters and gravitational-wave sources using cosmological simulations. The university researchers will create the first self-consistent, star-by-star models of dense star clusters with...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $202,576 Project Grant to The Trustees of Princeton University, doing business as Princeton University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a collaborative research effort to study how to indirectly test and constrain the properties of dark matter through observations of individual galaxies. Key deliverables include: 1) new, publicly available software modules...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research at Drexel University to measure the mass distribution of dark matter in the universe. The $359,436 award, active from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026, will enable the research team to analyze distortions in the shapes of approximately 100 million galaxies observed through the Dark Energy Survey. By interpreting these "cosmic flexion"...

- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $303,516 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to develop software and conduct research on explosive transients in the distant universe. The 4-year research program, running from March 2025 to August 2028, will leverage data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, the Interplanetary Network, and the International Gravitational Wave Network to enable new...
- This $508,212 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports the creation of an ambitious simulation suite that will uniformly cover an unprecedented range of dark matter and gravity models. The goal is to enable detailed comparisons between these simulations and observational survey data, potentially ruling out certain models of dark matter and gravity. The simulations will be publicly available to enable...
