The National Science Foundation Division of Physics awarded the University of Wisconsin–Madison $500,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to fund data analysis of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory through August 31, 2027. The award supports U.S. university scientists in analyzing data from IceCube, a neutrino detector embedded in Antarctic ice near the South Pole. The funded work covers detection and analysis of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, multimessenger astrophysics coordination with gamma-ray satellites and optical telescopes, neutrino property characterization, and supernova monitoring within the Milky Way. Since IceCube's construction completion in 2011, the instrument has detected astrophysical neutrinos with energy spectra exceeding 10 PeV and established neutrinos as a key component of multimessenger astrophysics. Performance is based in Madison, Wisconsin. The project is a collaborative research effort focused on capitalizing on the large NSF investment in this major facility through intensive data analysis and calibration activities.
