The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the Board of Regents of Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), $119,976 on September 1, 2026, to analyze data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). UNLV will conduct collaborative research analyzing IceCube detector data to advance multimessenger astrophysics, including high-energy neutrino flux measurements, identification of astrophysical neutrino sources through coordinated observations with gamma-ray and optical telescopes, characterization of neutrino properties across ten orders of magnitude in energy, and monitoring for galactic supernova signatures. The work capitalizes on NSF's major facility investment in IceCube, the world's largest operating neutrino detector embedded in Antarctic ice near the South Pole, which has operated since its 2011 completion. Performance occurs in Las Vegas, Nevada, with an August 31, 2027 completion date. This is a Project Grant assistance type. The award obligates $119,976 across a one-year period of performance. UNLV, a child entity of the Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents, is a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution competing on a full-and-open basis in NSF research funding environments. The institution maintains a portfolio of 161 recent NSF awards spanning project grants in computer science, materials science, STEM education, and geosciences.
