The researchers...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $900,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDSM&T). This grant will support research to better understand the origin, energy, and travel of cosmic rays using data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The project aims to achieve the first enhanced measurement of cosmic-ray anisotropy in the southern...
- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences), provides $600,000 in funding from August 2025 to July 2026 for scientists at six U.S. institutions to analyze cosmic rays using data gathered by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole. The IceCube detector, which consists of one cubic kilometer of natural ice, identifies particle cascades from high-energy cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere. This award...
- This federal Project Grant award of $450,000, provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports fundamental research into the origins of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) at the University of Chicago. The research leverages data from the Pierre Auger Observatory, the world's largest cosmic ray detector located in Argentina, to investigate the puzzles surrounding these rare and extremely energetic particles. Outcomes from this...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, CFDA 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, provides $400,000.00 in funding to the University of Utah for the period August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The award supports the data analysis activities of the university's Cosmic Ray Group, including graduate student researchers, as they conduct studies of the ultra-high energy cosmic ray spectrum and composition, as well as investigate the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $450,000 to New York University (NYU) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The award will support the university's research to test the hypothesis that ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are produced in binary neutron star mergers. Key objectives include developing tools to exploit UHECR composition data from the Pierre Auger Observatory,...
- This $348,961 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to understand how dust in distant galaxies affects our view of the cosmos. The 2-year project from April 2025 to August 2026 will use multiple telescopes to study how dust interacts with light from distant stars, making them appear dimmer. This impacts our understanding of how galaxies...
- The University of California, San Diego was awarded a $486,829 project grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences to support the research project "UNDERSTANDING GALACTIC COSMIC RAYS IN THE LOCAL BUBBLE AND BEYOND" from August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant is being administered through the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and...
- This $120,000 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA program 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, supports fundamental research on gravitational astrophysics and computational methods to advance scientific understanding of neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The award will fund a series of research projects at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) focused on developing new...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) will support a collaborative research project at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego) to reconstruct primordial density fluctuations using near-field cosmology. The key product of this $419,979 award, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to October 31, 2027, will be an efficient and accurate model for predicting the Milky...
This $527,689 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to improve the understanding of cosmic ray ionization rates within 500 parsecs of Earth. The project aims to enhance modeling of cosmic ray transport in molecular clouds and the surrounding diffuse medium, enabling more reliable estimates of the cosmic ray ionization rate variability. This will benefit researchers modeling star and planet formation processes, where cosmic ray ionization is a key input. The award provides funding and support for a Ph.D. student and an undergraduate research assistant over the 3-year project period from September 2025 to August 2028. The research will be conducted by the University of Texas at El Paso, a Hispanic-serving research university with extensive experience in federal research grants across scientific domains.
