This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Humberto Gilmer is awarded an NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to conduct a program of research and activities related to broadening participation by groups underrepresented in STEM. This fellowship to Dr. Gilmer supports his research project entitled " MPS-Ascend: Superfluid Dark Matter: Unveiling the Dark Sector of the Cosmos", under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The host institution for the fellowship is Brown University and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Stephon Alexander. Gilmer will explore a study a model of self-interacting dark matter which will provide an understanding of how dark matter mediates the gravitational interaction on galactic length scales, resolving the discrepancies present in the Standard Model of cosmology. Gilmer will also work to increase the participation of historically excluded minority students in the Providence, RI area through the creation of an Arts in STEM program at Brown University. This program will provide participants with knowledge of opportunities in STEM and a sense of science identity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项全部或部分根据2021年美国救援计划法案（公法117-2）资助。 Humberto Gilmer被授予NSF数学和物理科学上升博士后研究奖学金，以开展与扩大STEM中代表性不足的群体的参与有关的研究和活动计划。 Gilmer博士的奖学金支持他在赞助科学家的指导下进行的题为“MPS-Ascend：超流体暗物质：揭开宇宙的黑暗部分”的研究项目。该研究金的主办机构是布朗大学，赞助科学家是斯蒂芬亚历山大博士。吉尔默将探索一项研究自相互作用的暗物质模型，这将提供暗物质如何介导星系长度尺度上的引力相互作用的理解，解决宇宙学标准模型中存在的差异。 吉尔默还将致力于通过在布朗大学创建一个STEM艺术项目，增加历史上被排斥在国际扶轮普罗维登斯地区的少数民族学生的参与。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
