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 creation of open-source software tools in Python. Key objectives are to provide the broader astronomy community with accessible, advanced data analysis capabilities, and to contribute to the training of the next generation of astronomers and computational scientists through summer schools and educational outreach. The project will address important "cosmic demographics" research areas such as estimating luminosity functions, discovering correlations, and modeling size distributions of celestial objects. The award period runs from August 2025 through July 2028.
