The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $300,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Polar Programs assistance listing (CFDA 47.078) to fund scientists at U.S. universities to analyze data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The award funds continued analysis of high-energy neutrino data collected by IceCube, a neutrino detector embedded in Antarctic ice near the South Pole. IceCube has discovered high-energy neutrinos from outside the Milky Way and neutrino emission from the galactic plane, coordinated multimessenger observations with gamma-ray and optical telescopes, studied neutrino properties, and monitored the sky for galactic supernovae. The instrument has extended neutrino physics across ten orders of magnitude in energy. This award capitalizes on the existing NSF major facility investment by supporting continued data analysis to advance understanding of the most energetic astrophysical processes in the universe. The grant runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with performance at College Park, Maryland. The University of Maryland, College Park, operates through its Office of Research Administration & Advancement as the recipient organization.
