- This $300,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) supports research that leverages the recent detection of gravitational waves to provide new insights into black holes, neutron stars, and the expansion of the universe. The funded research aims to analyze the rapidly growing catalog of gravitational wave sources, which is expected to expand from the current 90 confirmed events to over 300 by 2027. By studying the population...
- This Project Grant award for $150,000 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research in gravitational wave astrophysics. The research aims to solve Einstein's equations numerically using simulations run on NSF-funded supercomputers to study the inspiral and merger of binary neutron star systems and the associated gravitational waves. The results will increase understanding of gravitational wave...
- This $301,094 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research on neutron stars and gravitational waves. The main research activities include searches for continuous gravitational waves from young neutron stars, including R-mode oscillations of known pulsars and searches of supernova remnants for non-pulsing neutron stars. The award also contributes to searches for other signals like neutron star...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award provides $180,000.00 to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The primary goal of the project is to develop novel numerical simulations and data-driven models to predict gravitational wave signals from mergers of black holes and neutron stars. This research will test Einstein's general relativity under extreme conditions and help maximize...
- This $313,468 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences on September 1, 2025 will support "Collaborative Research: Building the Next-Generation NanoGrav Pulsar Timing Array with the DSA-2000" at West Virginia University Research Corporation (WVURC). The funding will enable the development and deployment of pulsar timing instrumentation and pipelines to accurately characterize the low-frequency gravitational...
- This $360,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support the development of a new framework for studying extreme astrophysical objects, such as neutron stars and black holes, using gravitational wave data from the NSF-supported LIGO observatories. The award will fund the creation of fast, flexible time-frequency analysis methods that can account for non-Gaussian and non-stationary noise in the LIGO...
- This $498,731 federal Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Colorado (CU) to conduct an astrometric approach to detecting and characterizing gravitational waves spanning a wide range of frequencies. The project aims to disentangle various motions in the universe, from the expansion and acceleration of the universe to the orbits of galaxies and the solar system, in...
- This $299,998 National Science Foundation project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support research in relativity and relativistic astrophysics at Cornell University from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The research aims to numerically solve Einstein's equations through supercomputer simulations to test predictions of general relativity against observations from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Simulations of binary mergers...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $334,648 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to Cornell University. The grant will support collaborative research to build the next-generation North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) pulsar timing array using the DSA-2000 radio telescope. The research aims to detect gravitational waves produced by the mergers of supermassive black holes in distant galaxies, which will enable the characterization of the low-frequency gravitational wave background and the astrophysics of supermassive black holes. The project will provide hands-on training for graduate and undergraduate students in the development of hardware and algorithms, and the results will be widely disseminated to the scientific community and the broader public.
