This federal Project Grant award of $424,933 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports the "California-Hawaii Astrophysics Mentoring Partnership (CHAMP)" program. CHAMP is a collaborative effort between the University of California, Riverside (UCR), a minority-serving institution, and the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy (UH-IFA) under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The key objectives of CHAMP...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) project grant award of $766,689 to Michigan State University (MSU) aims to transform undergraduate physics education across the United States by increasing faculty adoption of computational physics topics. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award include: 1) Establishing regional faculty development workshops to support physics departments, especially at minority-serving institutions and...

This Project Grant award, valued at $169,693, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and the epoch of reionization using carbon monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping. The research team will work with the Caltech...

This Project Grant award, valued at $450,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant will support the university's research into the origin of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs), which is a long-standing mystery in astrophysics. The project will leverage recent upgrades to the Pierre Auger Observatory, the world's largest cosmic ray detector located in Argentina, to make...

This Project Grant award of $249,254 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research in geometric combinatorics at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. The project, titled "LEAPS-MPS: VENTURES IN GEOMETRIC COMBINATORICS," aims to explore the connections between the geometric properties of polytopes and the combinatorial structures they represent. The principal investigator will actively involve...

This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education provides $282,339 to the University Corporation at Monterey Bay for the CSUMB Student Support Services STEM HS Program to Increase College Retention and Graduation Rates. The project, funded through the TRIO Student Support Services (CFDA 84.042) program, aims to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students by increasing retention, graduation rates, and transfers...

This federal Project Grant award of $179,142 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) will investigate whether participation in an early intervention program positively predicts graduate school aspirations and enrollment among upward transfer community college students in computing and technology. The study, conducted by the University of Georgia Research Foundation, will track students who transfer from community colleges to the University of California...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) totaling $314,634 supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at Towson University. Over three years, the REU program will provide authentic research experiences for nine undergraduate students per summer through multi-mentored mathematical research projects. Students will be split into three teams and exposed to research areas including applied mathematics,...

This $199,998 National Science Foundation award through the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) funds a pilot project at San Diego State University-Imperial Valley to build math capacity and enhance undergraduate STEM education. The project develops and analyzes a summer bridge math experience for newly admitted students requiring math/statistics courses. The four-day program includes math workshops and campus life/career orientation field trips to assist students' math preparation and...
