Important information about NSF’s implementation of the revised 2 CFR

NSF Financial Assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) made on or after October 1, 2024, will be subject to the applicable set of award conditions, dated October 1, 2024, available on the NSF website. These terms and conditions are consistent with the revised guidance specified in the OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024.

Important information for proposers

All proposals must be submitted in accordance with the requirements specified in this funding opportunity and in the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) that is in effect for the relevant due date to which the proposal is being submitted. It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.

Supports research to advance the interoperability of studies using electromagnetic waves, high-energy particles including neutrinos and cosmic rays, and gravitational waves to realize integrated, multi-messenger astrophysical explorations of the universe.

Synopsis

The astrophysics community has available a diverse and powerful network of ground- and space-based instruments and facilities to enable observers to identify the electromagnetic signatures of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (MMA) events, and then monitor and characterize their evolution.  There also exists a rich set of software packages to track, schedule and support these observations.  The community has identified the need to better harmonize these resources and interconnect users.  The Multi-Messenger Coordination for Windows on the Universe (MMC-WoU) program will support the development of pathways or networks to increase the coordination and optimization of follow-up observations for MMA campaigns.
