- This Project Grant award of $404,960 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research effort to create computer models of the earliest galaxies and supermassive black holes that formed in the universe. The research team will use advanced simulations to investigate the observational signatures of galaxies that have hosted massive black hole seeds, with the goal of explaining recent observations of unexpectedly...
- This $457,396 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund collaborative research to create computer models of the earliest galaxies and supermassive black holes in the universe. The research aims to better explain recent observations of distant, massive galaxies that current models cannot fully account for. Through advanced simulations using the ENZO-E code, the project will investigate the...
- This $590,974 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research project at New York University (NYU) focused on advancing theoretical approaches for analyzing the spatial clustering of galaxies. The key objectives are to: (1) extend the Vlasov Perturbation Theory (VPT) formalism to model the matter bispectrum and redshift-space distortions; (2) incorporate VPT predictions into modeling galaxy power...
- This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
- The University of Connecticut received a $598,336 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop advanced computer simulations that will lead to a better understanding of galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the evolution of the universe. The 5-year research project, which began on September 1, 2025, will focus on two key areas: (1) advancing physically predictive models of galaxies at sub-parsec resolution, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $509,959 Project Grant to the University of California, Merced under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. This collaborative research grant will support a study on the evolving dynamics of star clusters within Milky Way-like galaxies. The research team will analyze advanced computer simulations to track the orbital dynamics and evolution of open star clusters, examining how the changing galactic environment...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant Award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides $399,552.00 in funding from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct a collaborative research study on extreme accretion events associated with supermassive black holes.

- 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 $338,402 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The objective of the award is to develop a comprehensive model that predicts the population of dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way as a function of dark matter properties and early universe dynamics. This will enable near-field measurements of small-scale matter clustering, yielding...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $356,389.00 and provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a high-resolution computer simulation study of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies. The key objectives are to: 1) understand how supermassive black holes form and grow within massive galaxies, 2) examine how black hole feedback leads to the quenching of star formation, 3) investigate the structure and evolution...
